¹⁶ Therefore let’s ^(A)approach the throne of grace with ^(B)confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need.

^17 [a]In the same way God, desiring even more to demonstrate to ^(A)the heirs of the promise ^[b](B)the fact that His purpose is unchangeable, ^[c]confirmed it with an oath, ¹⁸ so that by two unchangeable things in which ^(C)it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to hold firmly to ^(D)the hope set before us. ^19 [d]This ^(E)hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and reliable and one which ^(F)enters ^[e]within the veil, ^20 (G)where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a ^(H)high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
