Hebrews 13:8-16

New American Standard Bible

^8 (A)Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever. ^9 (B)Do not be misled by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to ^(C)be strengthened by grace, not by ^(D)foods, ^(E)through which those who ^[a]were so occupied were not benefited. ¹⁰ We have an altar ^(F)from which those ^(G)who serve the ^[b]tabernacle have no right to eat. ¹¹ For ^(H)the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the Holy Place by the high priest as an offering for sin are burned outside the camp. ¹² Therefore Jesus also suffered ^(I)outside the gate, ^(J)that He might sanctify the people ^(K)through His own blood. ¹³ So then, let us go out to Him outside the camp, ^(L)bearing His reproach. ¹⁴ For here ^(M)we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking ^(N)the city which is to come.

God-pleasing Sacrifices

^15 (O)Through Him then, let’s continually offer up a ^(P)sacrifice of praise to God, that is, ^(Q)the fruit of lips praising His name. ¹⁶ And do not neglect doing good and ^(R)sharing, for ^(S)with such sacrifices God is pleased.
