21 And we have a great priest who rules the house of God.
22 Sprinkled with the blood of Christ, our hearts have been made free from a guilty conscience, and our bodies have been washed with pure water. So come near to God with a sincere heart, full of confidence because of our faith in Christ.
23 We must hold on to the hope we have, never hesitating to tell people about it. We can trust God to do what he promised.
24 We should think about each other to see how we can encourage each other to show love and do good works.
25 We must not quit meeting together, as some are doing. No, we need to keep on encouraging each other. This becomes more and more important as you see the Day getting closer.
26 If we decide to continue sinning after we have learned the truth, then there is no other sacrifice that will take away sins.
27 If we continue sinning, all that is left for us is a fearful time of waiting for the judgment and the angry fire that will destroy those who live against God.
