Hebrews 9:15

¶ And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

And {G2532} for this {G5124} cause {G1223} he is {G2076} the mediator {G3316} of the new {G2537} testament {G1242}, that {G3704} by means {G1096} of death {G2288}, for {G1519} the redemption {G629} of the transgressions {G3847} that were under {G1909} the first {G4413} testament {G1242}, they which are called {G2564} might receive {G2983} the promise {G1860} of eternal {G166} inheritance {G2817}.

It is because of this death that he is mediator of a new covenant [or will]. Because a death has occurred which sets people free from the transgressions committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promised eternal inheritance.

Therefore Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that He has died to redeem them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they that have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
