¹¹ The 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) 12} And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate^(C) to make the people holy^(D) through his own blood.^{(E) 13} Let us, then, go to him^(F) outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.^{(G) 14} For here we do not have an enduring city,^(H) but we are looking for the city that is to come.^(I)

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

¹⁷ Have confidence in your leaders^(N) and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you^(O) as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.

¹⁸ Pray for us.^(P) We are sure that we have a clear conscience^(Q) and desire to live honorably in every way. ¹⁹ I particularly urge you to pray so that I may be restored to you soon.^(R)

Benediction and Final Greetings

²⁰ Now may the God of peace,^(S) who through the blood of the eternal covenant^(T) brought back from the dead^(U) our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,^{(V) 21} equip you with everything good for doing his will,^(W) and may he work in us^(X) what is pleasing to him,^(Y) through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.^(Z)
