By this new and living waywhich He initiated, dedicated and opened for us through the separating curtain, that is through His flesh,
And since we have such a great, wonderful and noble Priest Who rules over the house of God,
Let us come forward and draw near with sincere hearts in unqualified assurance and complete conviction engendered by faith
(by that leaning of the entire human experience on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom and goodness),
having our hearts sprinkled and purified from a guilty conscience and our bodies cleansed with pure water.
So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope we cherish and confess and our acknowledgement
of it, for He Who promised is reliable and faithful to His word.

For when the world with all its earthly wisdom failed to perceive and rcognize and know God by means of its own philosophy, God in His wisdom was pleased through the foolishness of preaching (salvation, procured by Christ and to be had through Him), to save those who believed (who trusted in and relied on Him).
In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace which He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.
