5 For ^ethere is one God, and ^fthere is one ^gmediator between God and men, the man¹ Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ^hransom for ⁱall, which is the testimony given ^jat the proper time.

16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had to be made ^ulike his brothers ^vin every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful ^whigh priest in the service of God, to make ^xpropitiation for the sins of the people.

13 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and ^rthe sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify¹ for the purification of the flesh, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered ^shimself without blemish to God, ^tpurify our^{2 u}conscience from ^vdead works to serve the living God.

15 Therefore he is the ^wmediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal ^xinheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.³
