Hebrews 9:15-17

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁵ And because of this, He is the Mediator of the new Testament, so that through death (which was for the redemption of the transgressions in the former Testament) those who were called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

¹⁶ For where there is a Testament, there must be the death of the one who made it.

¹⁷ For the Testament is confirmed after death. It is still of no force so long as the one who made it lives.
