16 (A)“This is the covenant that I will make with them
    after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws on their hearts,
    and write them on their minds,”

17 then he adds,

(B)“I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”

18 Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

The Full Assurance of Faith

19 (C)Therefore, brothers,[a] since we have confidence to enter (D)the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by (E)the new and living way that he opened for us through (F)the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have (G)a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts (H)sprinkled clean (I)from an evil conscience and our bodies (J)washed with pure water. 23 (K)Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for (L)he who promised is faithful. 24 And (M)let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 (N)not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and (O)all the more as you see (P)the Day drawing near.

  1. Hebrews 10:19 Or brothers and sisters

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](A)

17 Then he adds:

“Their sins and lawless acts
    I will remember no more.”[b](B)

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(C) to enter the Most Holy Place(D) by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way(E) opened for us through the curtain,(F) that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest(G) over the house of God,(H) 22 let us draw near to God(I) with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings,(J) having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience(K) and having our bodies washed with pure water.(L) 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope(M) we profess,(N) for he who promised is faithful.(O) 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,(P) 25 not giving up meeting together,(Q) as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another(R)—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.(S)

  2. Hebrews 10:17 Jer. 31:34

16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

21 And having an high priest over the house of God;

22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith 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 assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

  1. Hebrews 4:14 Greek has gone through the heavens

14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
