The Full Assurance of Faith

¹⁹ _p Therefore, brothers, ₁ since we have confidence to enter _q the holy places by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by _r the new and living way that he opened for us through _s the curtain, that is, through his flesh, ²¹ and since we have _t 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 _u sprinkled clean _v from an evil conscience and our bodies _w washed with pure water. ²³ _x Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for _y he who promised is faithful.
