Hebrews 13:7-16
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
7 Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God; consider the outcome of their life, and imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever. 9 Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings; for it is well that the heart be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited their adherents.[a] 10 We have an altar from which those who serve the tent[b] have no right to eat. 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. 12 So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. 13 Therefore let us go forth to him outside the camp, bearing abuse for him.[c] 14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city which is to come. 15 Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. 16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

Hebrews 13:7-16
New International Version
7 Remember your leaders,(A) who spoke the word of God(B) to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate(C) their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.(D)
9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings.(E) It is good for our hearts to be strengthened(F) by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods,(G) which is of no benefit to those who do so.(H) 10 We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle(I) have no right to eat.(J)
11 The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering,(K) but the bodies are burned outside the camp.(L) 12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate(M) to make the people holy(N) through his own blood.(O) 13 Let us, then, go to him(P) outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.(Q) 14 For here we do not have an enduring city,(R) but we are looking for the city that is to come.(S)
15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice(T) of praise—the fruit of lips(U) that openly profess his name. 16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others,(V) for with such sacrifices(W) God is pleased.

Hebrews 13:7-16
King James Version
7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
