‏ Hebrews 10:19

 Having therefore ( εχοντες ουν ). The author now gives a second (the first in 8:1-6) resume of the five arguments concerning the superior priestly work of Christ (10:19-25) coupled with an earnest exhortation like that in 4:14-16, with which he began the discussion, before he proceeds to treat at length the fifth and last one, the better promises in Christ (10:26-12:3).

 Boldness ( παρρησιαν ). This is the dominant note all through the Epistle (3:6; 4:16; 10:19, 35). They were tempted to give up Christ, to be quitters. Boldness (courage) is the need of the hour.

 Into the holy place ( των αγιων ). That is, the heavenly sanctuary where Jesus is (6:18-20). This is the better sanctuary (9:1-12).

 By the blood of Jesus ( εν τω αιματ Ιησου ). This is the better sacrifice just discussed (9:13-10:18).
