Hebrews 10:20
18 And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed.
19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,
by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body,
21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
