10:19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, 1 since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, 10:20 by the fresh and living way that he inaugurated for us 2 through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 3 10:21 and since we have a great priest 4 over the house of God, 10:22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in the assurance that faith brings, 5 because we have had our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience 6 and our bodies washed in pure water. 10:23 And let us hold unwaveringly to the hope that we confess, for the one who made the promise is trustworthy. 10:24 And let us take thought of how to spur one another on to love and good works, 7 10:25 not abandoning our own meetings, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and even more so because you see the day 8 drawing near. 9
10:26 For if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins is left for us, 10 10:27 but only a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a fury 11 of fire that will consume God’s enemies. 12
