Hebrews 10:19-25

19 Having therefore, brethren,

boldness to enter into the holiest

by the blood of Jesus,

20 By a new and living way, which

he hath consecrated for us,

through the veil, that is to say,

his flesh

21 And having an high priest over

the house of God;

22 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.

23 Let us hold fast the profession of

our faith without wavering; (for

he is faithful that promised;)

24 And let us consider one another

to provoke unto love and to good

works:

25 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

Hiligaynon

25

Indi naton pagbayaan ang aton

kinabatasan nga pagtililipon,

subong sang ginahimo sang iban,

Sa baylo, maglinaygayay ang isa

kag isa, kapin pa kay nahibaluan

ninyo nga malapit na ang Adlaw

sang Guinoo.
