Keep your life (A)free from love of money, and (B)be content with what you have, for he has said, (C)“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say,

(D)“The Lord is my helper;
    (E)I will not fear;
what can man do to me?”

Remember (F)your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and (G)imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is (H)the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be (I)led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, (J)not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them. 10 We have an altar (K)from which those who serve the tent[a] have no right to eat. 11 For (L)the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned (M)outside the camp. 12 So Jesus also (N)suffered (O)outside the gate in order to sanctify the people (P)through his own blood. 13 Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear (Q)the reproach he endured. 14 For (R)here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.

  1. Hebrews 13:10 Or tabernacle

Keep your lives free from the love of money(A) and be content with what you have,(B) because God has said,

“Never will I leave you;
    never will I forsake you.”[a](C)

So we say with confidence,

“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
    What can mere mortals do to me?”[b](D)

Remember your leaders,(E) who spoke the word of God(F) to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate(G) their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.(H)

Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings.(I) It is good for our hearts to be strengthened(J) by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods,(K) which is of no benefit to those who do so.(L) 10 We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle(M) have no right to eat.(N)

11 The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering,(O) but the bodies are burned outside the camp.(P) 12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate(Q) to make the people holy(R) through his own blood.(S) 13 Let us, then, go to him(T) outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.(U) 14 For here we do not have an enduring city,(V) but we are looking for the city that is to come.(W)
