Hebrews
10:11-25
(11) And every priest stands daily
at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take
away sins.
(12) But when Christ had offered
for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,
(13) waiting
from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet.
(14) For by a single offering he
has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.
(15) And the Holy Spirit also bears
witness to us; for after saying,
(16) "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, "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.
(19) Therefore, brothers, since we
have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus,
(20) by
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 priest over the house of God,
(22) let
us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts
sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
(23) Let us hold fast the
confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.
(24) And let us consider how to
stir up one another to love and good works,
(25) not
neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one
another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
