Hebrews 10:11-22

11Every priest stands [at his altar of service] ministering daily, offering the same sacrifices over and over, which are never able to strip away sins [that envelop and cover us];

12whereas Christ, having offered the one sacrifice [the all-sufficient sacrifice of Himself] for sins for all time, sat down [signifying the completion of atonement for sin] at the right hand of God [the position of honor],

13waiting from that time onward until his enemies are made a footstool for His feet.

14For by the one offering He has perfected forever and completely cleansed those who are being sanctified [bringing each believer to spiritual completion and maturity].

15And the Holy Spirit also adds His testimony to us [in confirmation of this]; for after having said,

16“This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, says the Lord: I will imprint My laws upon their heart, And on their mind I will inscribe them [producing an inward change],” He then says,

17“And their sins and their lawless acts I will remember no more [no longer holding their sins against them].”

18Now where there is [absolute] forgiveness and complete cancellation of the penalty of these things, there is no longer any offering [to be made to atone] for sin.

19Therefore, believers, since we have confidence and full freedom to enter the Holy Place [the place where God dwells] by [means of] the blood of Jesus,

20by this new and living way which He initiated and opened for us through the veil [as in the Holy of Holies], that is, through His flesh,

21and since we have a great and wonderful Priest [Who rules] over the house of God,

22let us approach [God] with a true and sincere heart in unqualified assurance of faith, having had our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
