19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,
20 by a new and living way, which he consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,
21 having a high priest over the house of God,
22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for he is faithful that promised.
24 Let us consider one another to encourage love and good works:
25 Not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another, and even more, as you see the day approaching.
26 If we continue to (practice) (deliberately persist in) sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins.
27 But there remains a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a fiery indignation, which will devour God’s enemies.
28 He that despised Moses’ Law died without mercy under two or three witnesses.
29 What about those who despise the Son of God? Those who treat as a cheap thing the blood of God’s covenant that purified them from sin? Those who insult the Spirit of grace? Think how much worse the punishment they deserve will be!
30 We know who said: »Vengeance is mine; I will repay«; and who also said, »Jehovah will judge his people.« (Deuteronomy 32:35)
31 It is a dreadful (terrible) thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 Remember the former days in which, after being enlightened, you endured great struggle with afflictions.
33 You were at times publicly insulted and mistreated. Other times you were ready to join those who were being treated in this way.
34 You shared the sufferings of prisoners. When all your belongings were seized, you endured your loss gladly. This is because you knew that you possessed something much better, which would last forever.
35 Do not lose your courage (confidence) (boldness). It brings a great reward with it.
36 You need to persevere in order to do the will of God and receive what he promises.
37 »In just a little while, he who is coming will come. He will not delay!«
38 »My righteous people will live by faith. If any of them turn back, I will not be pleased with them.«
39 We are not people who turn back and are destroyed. Instead, we have faith and are saved.
