19
Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,
20
by the new and living way which he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh,
21
and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
22
let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
23
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful;
24
and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,
