Hebrews 10:11–25

¹¹Every priest stands day after day ministering and offering the same sacrifices time after time, which can never take away sins.^{d 12}But this man, after offering one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God.^{Ae 13}He is now waiting until his enemies are made his footstool.^{f 14}For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are sanctified. ¹⁵The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. For after he says:

¹⁶This is the covenant I will make with them

after those days,

the Lord says,

I will put my laws on their hearts

and write them on their minds,

¹⁷and I will never again remember

their sins and their lawless acts.^Bg

¹⁸Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.

EXHORTATIONS TO GODLINESS

¹⁹Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus^h—²⁰he has inaugurated^C for us a new and living way through the curtain (that is, through his fleshⁱ)—²¹and since we have a great high priest over the house of God,^{j 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 in pure water.^{k 23}Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, since he who promised is faithful.^{l 24}And let us consider one another in order to provoke love and good works, ²⁵not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other,^m and all the more as you see the day approaching.
