¹⁹ (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw nigh unto God.

¹⁶ Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help `us' in time of need.

⁹ which `is' a figure for the time present; according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that cannot, as touching the conscience, make the worshipper perfect,

³⁹ and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

³ For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

¹⁶ yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

¹⁸ that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us:

¹ For the law having a shadow of the good `things' to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh.

⁴⁰ God having provided some better thing concerning us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

¹⁹ Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

²⁰ by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

²¹ and `having' a great priest over the house of God;

²² let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience: and having our body washed with pure water,

⁶ But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises.

²⁵ Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

¹¹ Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it hath the people received the law), what further need `was there' that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be reckoned after the order of Aaron?

¹⁷ For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

⁶ Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.

²⁰ because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the law `cometh' the knowledge of sin.

²¹ But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

² through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

²⁴ So that the law is become our tutor `to bring us' unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

¹³ But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ.

¹⁴ For he is our peace, who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition,

¹⁵ having abolished in the flesh the enmity, `even' the law of commandments `contained' in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the two one new man, `so' making peace;

¹⁶ and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

¹⁷ and he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh:

¹⁸ for through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father.

¹² in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.

²⁷ to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope;

²⁸ But it is good for me to draw near unto God: I have made the Lord Jehovah my refuge, That I may tell of all thy works. Psalm 74 Maschil of Asaph.
