Hebrews 9:16 in Context — Hebrews 9
14 ¿Cuánto más la sangre de Cristo, el cual por el Espíritu eterno se ofreció á sí mismo sin mancha á Dios, limpiará vuestras conciencias de las obras de muerte para que sirváis al Dios vivo?
15 Así que, por eso es mediador del nuevo testamento, para que interviniendo muerte para la remisión de las rebeliones que había bajo del primer testamento, los que son llamados reciban la promesa de la herencia eterna.
16 Porque donde hay testamento, necesario es que intervenga muerte del testador.
17 Porque el testamento con la muerte es confirmado; de otra manera no es válido entre tanto que el testador vive.
18 De donde [vino] que ni aun el primero fué consagrado sin sangre.
