hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God; 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. Let

us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that

promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not

forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the

more, as ye see the day approaching.
