Boldness

Heb. 10:19-23 Therefore, brethren, having boldness (3954) to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,   20 by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,   21 and [having] a High Priest over the house of God,   22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance (4136) of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.   23 Let us hold fast (2722) the confession (4893) of [our] hope without wavering, for He who promised [is] faithful.

Heb. 4:14-16 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast (2902) [our] confession (3671).   15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all [points] tempted as [we are, yet] without sin.   16 Let us therefore come boldly (3954) to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.  

Eph. 3:8-12 To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9 and to make all see what [is] the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; 10 to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly [places], 11 according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness (3954) and access (4318) with confidence (4006) through faith in Him.
