Hebrews 9:13-15
International Children’s Bible
13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a cow are sprinkled on the people who are unclean and this makes their bodies clean again.
14 How much more is done by the blood of Christ. He offered himself through the eternal Spirit[a] as a perfect sacrifice to God. His blood will make our hearts clean from useless acts. We are made pure so that we may serve the living God.
15 So Christ brings a new agreement from God to his people. Those who are called by God can now receive the blessings that God has promised. These blessings will last forever. They can have those things because Christ died so that the people who lived under the first agreement could be set free from sin.

New International Version
Hebrews 9:13-15
New International Version
13 The blood of goats and bulls(A) and the ashes of a heifer(B) sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit(C) offered himself(D) unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences(E) from acts that lead to death,[a](F) so that we may serve the living God!(G)
15 For this reason Christ is the mediator(H) of a new covenant,(I) that those who are called(J) may receive the promised(K) eternal inheritance(L)—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.(M)
