Hebrews 13:10-21

English Standard Version

¹⁰We have an altar ^(A)from which those who serve the tent^[a] have no right to eat. ¹¹For ^(B)the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned ^(C)outside the camp. ¹²So Jesus also ^(D)suffered ^(E)outside the gate in order to sanctify the people ^(F)through his own blood. ¹³Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear ^(G)the reproach he endured. ¹⁴For ^(H)here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. ¹⁵^(I)Through him then let us continually offer up ^(J)a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, ^(K)the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. ¹⁶Do not neglect to do good and ^(L)to share what you have, for such ^(M)sacrifices are pleasing to God.

¹⁷Obey ^(N)your leaders and submit to them, ^(O)for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to ^(P)give an account. ^(Q)Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.

¹⁸^(R)Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things. ¹⁹I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order ^(S)that I may be restored to you the sooner.

Benediction

²⁰Now ^(T)may the God of peace ^(U)who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, ^(V)the great shepherd of the sheep, by ^(W)the blood of the eternal covenant, ²¹^(X)equip you with everything good that you may do his will, ^(Y)working in us^[b] that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, ^(Z)to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
