This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Having therefore (echontes oun). The author now gives a second (the first in Heb 8:1-6) resumé of the five arguments concerning the superior priestly work of Christ (Heb 10:19-25) coupled with an earnest exhortation like that in Heb 4:14-16, with which he began the discussion, before he proceeds to treat at length the fifth and last one, the better promises in Christ (10:26-12:3).
Boldness (parrēsian). This is the dominant note all through the Epistle (Heb 3:6; Heb 4:16; Heb 10:19, Heb 10:35). They were tempted to give up Christ, to be quitters. Boldness (courage) is the need of the hour.
Into the holy place (tōn hagiōn). That is, the heavenly sanctuary where Jesus is (Heb 6:18-20). This is the better sanctuary (Heb 9:1-12).
By the blood of Jesus (en tōi haimati Iēsou). This is the better sacrifice just discussed (9:13-10:18).
