¹⁹ Therefore, 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 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⌟ and good works, ²⁵not abandoning ⌞our meeting together⌟, as is the habit of some, but encouraging each other, and by so much more as you see the day drawing near.
