1Ti 2:5-6, Heb 4:14-16, 7:25-26, 10:19-23, 1Jo 2:1, 5:14-16 | ESV | STEP | For there is one God , and there is one mediator between God and men , the man Christ Jesus ,

5 For ^athere is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man ^{▼▼ men and man render the same Greek word that is translated people in verses 1 and 4} Christ Jesus, 6 ^cwho gave himself as a ransom for all, which is ^dthe testimony given ^eat the proper time.

Hebrews 4:14-16

Jesus the Great High Priest

14 Since then we have ^fa great high priest ^gwho has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, ^hlet us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest ⁱwho is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been ^jtempted as we are, ^kyet without sin. 16 ^lLet us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 7:25-26

25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost ^{▼▼That is, completely; or at all times} ⁿthose who draw near to God ^othrough him, since he always lives ^pto make intercession for them.

26 For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, ^qholy, innocent, unstained, ^rseparated from sinners, and ^sexalted above the heavens.

Hebrews 10:19-23

The Full Assurance of Faith

19 ^tTherefore, brothers, ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters} since we have confidence to enter ^vthe holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by ^wthe new and living way that he opened for us through ^xthe curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have ^ya great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts ^zsprinkled clean ^aafrom an evil conscience and our bodies ^abwashed with pure water. 23 ^acLet us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for ^adhe who promised is faithful.

1 John 2:1

Christ Our Advocate

1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, ^aewe have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

1 John 5:14-16

14 And this is ^afthe confidence that we have toward him, that ^agif we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and ^ahGod ^{▼▼Greek he} will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. ^ajThere is sin that leads to death; ^akI do not say that one should pray for that.
