• Ephesians 2:22
  • In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

  • Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
  •  By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
  • And having an high priest over the house of God;
  •  Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
