Hebrews 9:15-20

15 Therefore he is ^athe mediator of a new covenant, so that ^bthose who are called may ^creceive the promised eternal inheritance, ^dsince a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. ^{▼▼The Greek word means both covenant and will; also verses 16, 17} 16 For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established. 17 For ^fa will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive. 18 Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated ^gwithout blood. 19 For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took ^hthe blood of calves and goats, ⁱwith water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, ^j“This is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you.”

Hebrews 9:28

28 so Christ, having been offered once ^kto bear the sins of ^lmany, will appear ^ma second time, ⁿnot to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly ^owaiting for him.

Hebrews 10:16-18

16 ^p“This is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws on their hearts,
and write them on their minds,”
17 then he adds,

^q“I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”
18 Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

Hebrews 13:20-21
