12neither through blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, did enter in once into the holy places, age-during redemption having obtained;
13for if the blood of bulls, and goats, and ashes of an heifer, sprinkling those defiled, doth sanctify to the purifying of the flesh,
14how much more shall the blood of the Christ (who through the age-during Spirit did offer himself unblemished to God) purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
15And because of this, of a new covenant he is mediator, that, death having come, for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, those called may receive the promise of the age-during inheritance,
16for where a covenant [is], the death of the covenant-victim to come in is necessary,
17for a covenant over dead victims [is] stedfast, since it is no force at all when the covenant-victim liveth,
18whence not even the first apart from blood hath been initiated,
