Hebrews 9:15-17

New Century Version

¹⁵ For this reason Christ brings a new agreement from God to his people. Those who are called by God can now receive the blessings he has promised, blessings that will last forever. They can have those things because Christ died so that the people who lived under the first agreement could be set free from sin.

¹⁶ When there is a will,^[a] it must be proven that the one who wrote that will is dead. ¹⁷ A will means nothing while the person is alive; it can be used only after the person dies.
