Hebrews 10:20

Hold Fast The Confession Of Our Hope

¹⁹ Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Holy of Holies [i.e., heaven] by means of the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by means of a new and living way which He opened for us through the curtain of His physical body, ²¹ and since we have a great Priest [who is] over God's household [i.e., Christ],
