Hebrews 10:11–25

¹¹And every priest stands every day serving and offering the same sacrifices many times, which are never able to take away sins. ¹²But this one, after he^* had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, ¹³from now on waiting until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet. ¹⁴For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy. ¹⁵And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,

¹⁶“This is the covenant that I will decree for them

after those days, says the Lord:

I am putting my laws on their hearts,

and I will write them on their minds.”^e

¹⁷He also says,

“Their sins and their lawless deeds I will never remember again.”^f

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

Hold Fast the Confession of Our Hope

¹⁹Therefore, brothers, since we^* have confidence for the entrance into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰by the new and living way which he inaugurated for us through the curtain, that is, his flesh, ²¹and since we have^g a great priest over the house of God, ²²let us approach with a true heart in the full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. ²³Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for the one who promised is faithful. ²⁴And let us think about how to stir one another up to love^h and good works, ²⁵not abandoning our meeting togetherⁱ, as is the habit of some, but encouraging each other, and by so much more as you see the day drawing near.
