W. Kelly Translation

22

let us approach with true heart in full assurancea of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from a wicked conscience, and our body washedb with pure water.

WK Translation Notes

a

The RV gives "fullness" here and in 6:11, but "full assurance" is better, as in its text of .

b

In verses 22—24 the three verbs of call are connected in due order, the approach being as simply strengthened by the two perfect participles which follow, as the holding fast the confession of our hope is sustained by the faithful promise of God, and the considering one another to provoke to love and good works, carried out especially in this habitual gathering together, and by exhortation in view of the day approaching. There is no need to sever "our body washed with pure water" from the foregoing and connect it particularly with what follows. Each of the subjunctives introduces a new scope, and has its own supports adjoining, and in no case preceding.
