19Having therefore, brothers,boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,20by the way which he dedicated for us,a new and living way,through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,21and having a great priest over God’s house,22let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith,having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscienceand having our body washed with pure water,23let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering;for he who promised is faithful.

24Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,25not forsaking our own assembling together,as the custom of some is,but exhorting one another,and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

1The earth is the Lord’s, with its fullness;the world, and those who dwell in it.2For he has founded it on the seas,and established it on the floods.

3Who may ascend to the Lord’s hill?Who may stand in his holy place?4He who has clean hands and a pure heart;who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood,and has not sworn deceitfully.

5He shall receive a blessing from the Lord,righteousness from the God of his salvation.6This is the generation of those who seek Him,who seek your face—even Jacob.

21He said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed?Isn’t it put on a stand?22For there is nothing hidden exceptthat it should be made known,neither was anything made secretbut that it should come to light.23If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24He said to them, “Take heed what you hear.With whatever measure you measure,it will be measured to you;and more will be given to you who hear.25For whoever has, to him more will be given;and he who doesn’t have,even that which he has will be taken away from him.”
