Hebrews 10:19-25

Christ's Once-for-All Offering and the Call to Draw Near, Hold Fast, and Endure

Hebrews 10 moves from the insufficiency of repeated sacrifices, to the sufficiency of Christ's once-for-all offering, to the new covenant assurance of forgiveness, to the church's duty to draw near, hold fast, encourage one another, heed the warning, and endure by faith.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,

20 by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body,

21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.

24 And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds.

25 Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
