Hebrews 9:13-15
Common English Bible
13 If the blood of goats and bulls and the sprinkled ashes of cows made spiritually contaminated people holy and clean, 14 how much more will the blood of Jesus wash our consciences clean from dead works in order to serve the living God? He offered himself to God through the eternal Spirit as a sacrifice without any flaw.
Christ’s death and the new covenant
15 This is why he’s the mediator of a new covenant (which is a will): so that those who are called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance on the basis of his death. His death occurred to set them free from the offenses committed under the first covenant.

Hebrews 9:13-15
New International Version
13 The blood of goats and bulls(A) and the ashes of a heifer(B) sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit(C) offered himself(D) unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences(E) from acts that lead to death,[a](F) so that we may serve the living God!(G)
15 For this reason Christ is the mediator(H) of a new covenant,(I) that those who are called(J) may receive the promised(K) eternal inheritance(L)—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.(M)
