18.Since we have forgiveness of our sins through the blood of Christ,

We should draw near to God:

With a sincere heart.

In full assurance of faith.

With the blood of Christ sprinkled on our heart, purging away a guilty conscience.

Having our body washed with pure water (perhaps referring to water baptism).

Holding fast the confession of our hope, remembering that He who made the promises is eternally faithful.

Considering how we may provoke one another to love and good works.

Assembling together and encouraging one another—and all the more as the coming of the Lord draws near.
