13. now he waits until his enemies are made his footstool.
14. For by one offering he has made perfect forever those who are being consecrated.
15. The holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying:
16. “This is the covenant I will establish with them after those days, says the Lord:‘I will put my laws in their hearts,and I will write them upon their minds,’”
17. he also says:“Their sins and their evildoingI will remember no more.”
18. Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer offering for sin.
19. Therefore, brothers, since through the blood of Jesus we have confidence of entrance into the sanctuary
20. by the new and living way he opened for us through the veil, that is, his flesh,
21. and since we have “a great priest over the house of God,”
22. let us approach with a sincere heart and in absolute trust, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure water.
23. Let us hold unwaveringly to our confession that gives us hope, for he who made the promise is trustworthy.
