Hebrews 9:15-17

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Thus Christ Mediates a New Covenant Inaugurated By His Own Blood

¹⁵ And for this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that the ones having been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance— a death having taken-place for the redemption from the transgressions committed under^[a] the first covenant. ¹⁶ For where there is a will^[b], it is a necessity that the death of the one having made-the-will be brought-forth. ¹⁷ For a will over dead ones is firm, since it does not ever have [legal] power when the one having made-the-will is living.
