Hebrews 10:21-23
New English Translation

21 and since we have a great priest[a] over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in the assurance that faith brings,[b] because we have had our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience[c] and our bodies washed in pure water. 23 And let us hold unwaveringly to the hope that we confess, for the one who made the promise is trustworthy.
