Hebrews 10:16-25
1599 Geneva Bible
16 (A)This is the Testament that I will make unto them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my Laws in their heart, and in their minds I will write them.
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember [a]no more.
18 Now where remission of these things is, there is no more offering for [b]sin.
19 [c]Seeing therefore, brethren, that by the blood of Jesus we may be bold to enter into the Holy place,
20 By the new and living way, which he hath prepared for us, through the veil, that is, his [d]flesh:
21 And seeing we have an high Priest, which is over the house of God,
22 [e]Let us draw near with a [f]true heart in assurance of faith, our [g]hearts being pure from an evil conscience,
23 And washed in our bodies with [h]pure water, let us keep the profession of our hope, without wavering, (for he is faithful that promised.)
24 And let us consider one another, to provoke unto love, and to good works,
25 Not forsaking the fellowship that we have among ourselves, as the manner of some is: but let us exhort one another, [i]and that so much the more, because ye see that the day draweth near.

Neither as in times past, doth the high Priest shut us out by setting the veil against us, but through the veil, which is his flesh, he hath brought us into heaven itself, being present with us, so that we have now truly an high Priest, which is over the house of God.
