How We Should Live

¹⁹ Therefore, my brothers, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is, through his flesh), ²¹ and since we have a great high priest over the household of God, ²² let us continue to come near with sincere hearts in the full assurance that faith provides, because our hearts have been sprinkled clean from a guilty conscience, and our bodies have been washed with pure water. ²³ Let us continue to hold firmly to the hope that we confess without wavering, for the one who made the promise is faithful. ²⁴ And let us continue to consider how to motivate one another to love and good deeds, ²⁵ not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another even more as you see the day of the Lord^[a] coming nearer.
