3:12 We can come boldly and confidently into God’s presence, not because of good deeds that we have done, but because of Christ’s all-sufficient sacrifice for our sins (see 2:18; Heb 4:14-16; 10:19-23; 1 Pet 3:18; 1 Jn 4:14).
OET (OET-RV) It’s through our faith in Yeshua that we can have boldness and confident access to God.
