Hebrews 9:14-18
New American Standard Bible
15For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the violations that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
16For where there is a covenant, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it.
17For a covenant is valid only when people are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives.
18Therefore even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood.
King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
15Therefore, he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance, because a death has taken place for redemption from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.
16Where a will exists, the death of the one who made it must be established.
17For a will is valid only when people die, since it is never in effect while the one who made it is living.
18That is why even the first covenant was inaugurated with blood.
New Living Translation
Chapter 9
14Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. 15That is why he is the one who mediates a new covenant between God and people, so that all who are called can receive the eternal inheritance God has promised them. For Christ died to set them free from the penalty of the sins they had committed under that first covenant.English Standard Version
15Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.
16For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established.
17For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive.
18Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood.
