Hebrews 13:11-18

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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.^{(A) 12} Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the city gate in order to sanctify the people by his own blood.^{(B) 13} Let us then go to him outside the camp and bear the abuse he endured. ¹⁴ For here we have no lasting city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.^{(C) 15} Through him, then, let us continually offer a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name.^{(D) 16} Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

¹⁷ Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with sighing, for that would be harmful to you.^(E)

¹⁸ Pray for us; we are sure that we have a good conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things.^(F)
