Hebrews 9:15 in Context — Hebrews 9

13 Car si le sang des taureaux et des boucs, et la cendre d’une vache, répandue sur ceux qui sont souillés, sanctifient et procurent la pureté de la chair,

14 combien plus le sang de Christ, qui, par un esprit éternel, s’est offert lui-même sans tache à Dieu, purifiera-t-il votre conscience des œuvres mortes, afin que vous serviez le Dieu vivant!

15 Et c’est pour cela qu’il est le médiateur d’une nouvelle alliance, afin que, la mort étant intervenue pour le rachat des transgressions commises sous la première alliance, ceux qui ont été appelés reçoivent l’héritage éternel qui leur a été promis.

16 Car là où il y a un testament, il est nécessaire que la mort du testateur soit constatée.
