Hold Fast The Confession Of Our Hope

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], ²² we should draw close [to God] with a sincere heart and a fully assured faith, having had our hearts sprinkled from a guilty conscience [See 9:13-14] and having had our bodies washed with clean water [i.e., in our immersion].
