11 This is according to the eternal purpose that he formed in connection with the Christ,+ Jesus our Lord, 12 by means of whom we have this freeness of speech and free access+ with confidence through our faith in him.

19 Therefore, brothers, since we have boldness* for the way of entry into the holy place+ by the blood of Jesus, 20 which he opened up* for us as a new and living way through the curtain,+ that is, his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,+ 22 let us approach with sincere hearts and complete faith, having had our hearts sprinkled clean from a wicked conscience+ and our bodies bathed with clean water.+
