Hebrews 13:5-17

English Standard Version

⁵ 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.” ⁶ So we can confidently say,

⁷ 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. ⁸ Jesus Christ is ^(H)the same yesterday and today and forever. ⁹ 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. ^15 (S)Through him then let us continually offer up ^(T)a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, ^(U)the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. ¹⁶ Do not neglect to do good and ^(V)to share what you have, for such ^(W)sacrifices are pleasing to God.

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