Hebrews 13:7-16

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁷ Remember your leaders, those who spoke the word of God to you; consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. ⁸ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. ⁹ Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by regulations about food,^[a] which have not benefited those who observe them.^{(A) 10} We have an altar from which those who officiate in the tent^[b] have no right to eat.^{(B) 11} For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp.^{(C) 12} Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the city gate in order to sanctify the people by his own blood.^{(D) 13} Let us then go to him outside the camp and bear the abuse he endured. ¹⁴ For here we have no lasting city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.^{(E) 15} Through him, then, let us continually offer a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name.^{(F) 16} Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
