Results of Justification

5 ^(A)Therefore, having been justified by faith, ^[a](B)we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ² through whom we also have ^(C)obtained our introduction by faith into this grace ^(D)in which we stand; and ^[b]we celebrate in hope of the glory of God.

¹⁴ Therefore, since we have a great ^(A)high priest who has ^(B)passed through the heavens, Jesus ^(C)the Son of God, let’s hold firmly to our ^(D)confession. ¹⁵ For we do not have ^(E)a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been ^(F)tempted in all things just as we are, yet ^(G)without sin. ¹⁶ Therefore let’s ^(H)approach the throne of grace with ^(I)confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need.

A New and Living Way

¹⁹ Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we ^(A)have confidence to ^(B)enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by ^(C)a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through ^(D)the veil, that is, through His flesh, ²¹ and since we have ^(E)a great priest ^(F)over the house of God,

⁹ Much more then, having now been justified ^[a](A)by His blood, we shall be saved ^(B)from the wrath of God through Him. ¹⁰ For if while we were ^(C)enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved ^[b](D)by His life.

⁴ But God, being ^(A)rich in mercy, because of ^(B)His great love with which He loved us,

² and ^(A)walk in love, just as Christ also ^(B)loved ^[a]you and ^(C)gave Himself up for us, an ^(D)offering and a sacrifice to God ^[b]as a ^(E)fragrant aroma.

⁵ So then, does He who ^(A)provides you with the Spirit and ^(B)works ^[a]miracles among you, do it by works of ^[b]the Law, or by ^(C)hearing ^[c]with faith?

¹³ Now may the God of hope fill you with all ^(A)joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope ^(B)by the power of the Holy Spirit.
