New International Version NIV
14 Because by one offering he has made complete for ever those who are made holy.
14
For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
15 And the Holy Spirit is a witness for us: for after he had said,
15
The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:
16 This is the agreement which I will make with them after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws in their hearts, writing them in their minds; he said,
16
“This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”
17 And I will keep no more memory of their sins and of their evil-doings.
17
Then he adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”
18 Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no more offering for sin.
18
And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.
19 So then, my brothers, being able to go into the holy place without fear, because of the blood of Jesus,
19
Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,

20

21 And having a great priest over the house of God,
21

22 Let us go in with true hearts, in certain faith, having our hearts made free from the sense of sin and our bodies washed with clean water:
22
let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us keep the witness of our hope strong and unshaking, for he is true who has given his word:
23
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
24 And let us be moving one another at all times to love and good works;
24
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,
