Christian Fellowship

Hebrews 10:19-25

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

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.
