Hebrews 9:13-14 CEV
(13) According to the Law of Moses, those people who become unclean are not fit to worship God. Yet they will be considered clean, if they are sprinkled with the blood of goats and bulls and with the ashes of a sacrificed calf. (14) But Christ was sinless, and he offered himself as an eternal and spiritual sacrifice to God. That's why his blood is much more powerful and makes our consciences clear. Now we can serve the living God and no longer do things that lead to death.

Hebrews 9:13-14 ALT
(13) For if the blood of bulls and goats and ashes of a heifer [i.e. a young cow] sprinkling the ones having been defiled sanctifies to the purifying of the flesh, (14) how much more will the blood of Christ (who through [the] eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God) purify [or, purge] your* conscience from dead works for [you*] to be sacredly serving the living God?

Hebrews 9:13-14 BBE
(13) For if the blood of goats and oxen, and the dust from the burning of a young cow, being put on the unclean, make the flesh clean: (14) How much more will the blood of Christ, who, being without sin, made an offering of himself to God through the Holy Spirit, make your hearts clean from dead works to be servants of the living God?

Hebrews 9:13-14 NWT
13 For if the blood of goats and of bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who have been defiled sanctifies to the extent of cleanness of the flesh, 14 how much more will the blood of the Christ, who through an everlasting spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works that we may render sacred service to [the] living God?

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
