2. 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
3. 21
22
And having an high priest over
the house of God;
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.
4. 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:
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

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.
