confidence to enter the Most Holy Place
by the blood of Jesus, by a new and
living way opened for us through the
curtain, that is, his body, and since we

God, let us draw near to God with
sincere heart in full assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse
us from a guilty conscience and having
our bodies washed with pure water.”

weaknesses. We do not know what we

mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit
intercedes for the saints in
accordance with God’s will.”
