Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.(A) Don’t be led astray by various kinds of strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be established by grace and not by foods, since those involved in them have not benefited.(B) 10 We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle do not have a right to eat.(C) 11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the most holy place by the high priest(D) as a sin offering are burned outside the camp.(E) 12 Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate,(F) so that He might sanctify[a] the people by His own blood. 13 Let us then go to Him outside the camp, bearing His disgrace.(G) 14 For we do not have an enduring city here; instead, we seek the one to come.(H) 15 Therefore, through Him let us continually offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of our lips that confess His name.(I)

  1. Hebrews 13:12 Or set apart, or consecrate

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.

11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.

12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
