¹¹For ^(A)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. ¹²Therefore Jesus also suffered ^(B)outside the gate, ^(C)that He might sanctify the people ^(D)through His own blood. ¹³So then, let us go out to Him outside the camp, ^(E)bearing His reproach. ¹⁴For here ^(F)we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking ^(G)the city which is to come.

New King James Version

¹¹For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp. ¹²Therefore Jesus also, that He might ^[a]sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate. ¹³Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing ^(A)His reproach. ¹⁴For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come. ¹⁵^(B)Therefore by Him let us continually offer ^(C)the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, ^(D)the fruit of our lips, ^[b]giving thanks to His name. ¹⁶^(E)But do not forget to do good and to share, for ^(F)with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Hebrews 13:11-16

New International Version

¹¹The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering,^(A) but the bodies are burned outside the camp.^(B) ¹²And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate^(C) to make the people holy^(D) through his own blood.^(E) ¹³Let us, then, go to him^(F) outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.^(G) ¹⁴For here we do not have an enduring city,^(H) but we are looking for the city that is to come.^(I)

¹⁵Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice^(J) of praise—the fruit of lips^(K) that openly profess his name. ¹⁶And do not forget to do good and to share with others,^(L) for with such sacrifices^(M) God is pleased.

Hebrews 13:11-16

New International Reader's Version

¹¹The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Room. He brings their blood as a sin offering. But the bodies are burned outside the camp. ¹²Jesus also suffered outside the city gate. He suffered to make the people holy by spilling his own blood. ¹³So let us go to him outside the camp. Let us be willing to suffer the shame he suffered. ¹⁴Here we do not have a city that lasts. But we are looking for the city that is going to come.

¹⁵So let us never stop offering to God our praise through Jesus. Let us talk openly about our faith in him. Then our words will be like an offering to God. ¹⁶Don’t forget to do good. Don’t forget to share with others. God is pleased with those kinds of offerings.
