14. how much more shall the blood of the Messiah, who through the everlasting Spirit offered Himself unblemished to Elohim, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living Elohim?
15. And because of this He is the Mediator of a renewed covenant, so that, death having taken place for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, those who are called might receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance.
16. For where a covenant is, it is necessary for the death of the covenanted one to be established.
17. For a covenant over those dead is firm, since it is never valid while the covenanted one is living.
