  1. 13.13 i.e., “Let us leave the observance of Judaism behind us.”

11 The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering,(A) but the bodies are burned outside the camp.(B) 12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate(C) to make the people holy(D) through his own blood.(E) 13 Let us, then, go to him(F) outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.(G) 14 For here we do not have an enduring city,(H) but we are looking for the city that is to come.(I)

15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice(J) of praise—the fruit of lips(K) that openly profess his name. 16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others,(L) for with such sacrifices(M) God is pleased.
