19 Therefore, my friends,* since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, 20by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is, through his flesh), 21and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful. 24And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, 25not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

1 The earth is the Lord’s and all that fills it, ♦︎
the compass of the world and all who dwell therein.
2 For he has founded it upon the seas ♦︎
and set it firm upon the rivers of the deep.
3 ‘Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord, ♦︎
or who can rise up in his holy place?’
4 ‘Those who have clean hands and a pure heart, ♦︎
who have not lifted up their soul to an idol,
nor sworn an oath to a lie;
5 ‘They shall receive a blessing from the Lord, ♦︎
a just reward from the God of their salvation.’
6 Such is the company of those who seek him, ♦︎
of those who seek your face, O God of Jacob.

21 He said to them, ‘Is a lamp brought in to be put under the bushel basket, or under the bed, and not on the lampstand? 22For there is nothing hidden, except to be disclosed; nor is anything secret, except to come to light. 23Let anyone with ears to hear listen!’ 24And he said to them, ‘Pay attention to what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you. 25For to those who have, more will be given; and from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.’
