Hebrews 10:15-23
Contemporary English Version
Hebrews 10:15-23
Contemporary English Version
15 The Holy Spirit also speaks of this by telling us that the Lord said,
16 (A) “When the time comes,
I will make an agreement
with them.
I will write my laws
on their minds and hearts.
17 (B) Then I will forget
about their sins
and no longer remember
their evil deeds.”
18 When sins are forgiven, there is no more need to offer sacrifices.
Encouragement and Warning
19 My friends, the blood of Jesus gives us courage to enter the most holy place 20 by a new way that leads to life! And this way takes us through the curtain that is Christ himself.
21 We have a great high priest who is in charge of God's house. 22 (C) So let's come near God with pure hearts and a confidence that comes from having faith. Let's keep our hearts pure, our consciences free from evil, and our bodies washed with clean water. 23 We must hold tightly to the hope we say is ours. After all, we can trust the one who made the agreement with us.

Hebrews 10:15-23
New International Version
15 The Holy Spirit also testifies(A) to us about this. First he says:
16 “This is the covenant I will make with them
after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds.”[a](B)
17 Then he adds:
18 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.
A Call to Persevere in Faith
19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence(D) to enter the Most Holy Place(E) by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way(F) opened for us through the curtain,(G) that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest(H) over the house of God,(I) 22 let us draw near to God(J) with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings,(K) having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience(L) and having our bodies washed with pure water.(M) 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope(N) we profess,(O) for he who promised is faithful.(P)
