  • “Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest” (Heb. 4:11).
  • “Let us hold fast our profession” (Heb. 4:14).
  • “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace” (Heb. 4:16).
  • “Let us go on unto perfection” (Heb. 6:1).
  • “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith” (Heb. 10:22).
  • “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering” (Heb. 10:23).
  • “Let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works” (Heb. 10:24).
  • “Let us lay aside every weight” (Heb. 12:1).
  • “Let us run with patience the race that is set before us” (Heb. 12:1).
  • “Let us have grace” (Heb. 12:28).
  • “Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp” (Heb. 13:13).
  • “Let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually” (Heb. 13:15).
