Hebrews 10:15-25
New International Version
15 The Holy Spirit also testifies(A) to us about this. First he says:
16 “This is the covenant I will make with them
after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds.”[a](B)
17 Then he adds:
18 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.
A Call to Persevere in Faith
19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence(D) to enter the Most Holy Place(E) by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way(F) opened for us through the curtain,(G) that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest(H) over the house of God,(I) 22 let us draw near to God(J) with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings,(K) having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience(L) and having our bodies washed with pure water.(M) 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope(N) we profess,(O) for he who promised is faithful.(P) 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,(Q) 25 not giving up meeting together,(R) as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another(S)—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.(T)

Hebrews 10:15-25
Common English Bible
15 The Holy Spirit affirms this when saying,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them.
After these days, says the Lord,
I will place my laws in their hearts
and write them on their minds.
17 And I won’t remember their sins
and their lawless behavior anymore.[a]
18 When there is forgiveness for these things, there is no longer an offering for sin.
Second summary of the message
19 Brothers and sisters, we have confidence that we can enter the holy of holies by means of Jesus’ blood, 20 through a new and living way that he opened up for us through the curtain, which is his body, 21 and we have a great high priest over God’s house.
22 Therefore, let’s draw near with a genuine heart with the certainty that our faith gives us, since our hearts are sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies are washed with pure water.
23 Let’s hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, because the one who made the promises is reliable.
24 And let us consider each other carefully for the purpose of sparking love and good deeds. 25 Don’t stop meeting together with other believers, which some people have gotten into the habit of doing. Instead, encourage each other, especially as you see the day drawing near.
