Hold Fast the Confession of Our Hope

¹⁹ Therefore, brothers, since we^[a] have confidence for the entrance into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by the new and living way which he inaugurated for us through the curtain, that is, his flesh, ²¹ and since we have^[b] a great priest over the house of God, ²² let us approach with a true heart in the full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. ²³ Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for the one who promised is faithful. ²⁴ And let us think about how to stir one another up to love^[c] and good works, ²⁵ not abandoning our meeting together^[d], as is the habit of some, but encouraging each other, and by so much more as you see the day drawing near.
