The verse in its chapter

Hebrews 10:21-25

  1. 21 And having an high priest over the house of God;
  2. 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.
  3. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
  4. 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
  5. 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.
