And because of this he is mediator of a new covenant, so that a death having occurred for the redemption of the transgressions against the first covenant, those who are called might take the promise of the eternal inheritance. For where a covenant is, a necessity is to present the death of the man who made the covenant. For a covenant is effective with the dead, since it is never enforced while the man who made the covenant lives. Whereupon neither has the first been dedicated without blood.
