Hebrews 13:8-10
Wycliffe Bible
8 Jesus Christ, yesterday, and to day, he is also into worlds.
9 Do not ye be led away with diverse and strange teachings. For it is best to stable the heart with grace, not with meats, which profited not to men wandering in them.
10 We have an altar, of which they that serve to the tabernacle, have not power [have not power, or leave,] to eat.

1599 Geneva Bible
8 [a]Remember them which have the oversight of you, which have declared unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering what hath been the end of their conversation. [b]Jesus Christ yesterday, and today, the same also is forever.
9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines: [c]for it is a good thing that the heart be stablished with grace, and not with [d]meats, which have not profited them that have been [e]occupied therein.
10 [f]We have an [g]altar, whereof they have no authority to eat, which [h]serve in the Tabernacle.

- Hebrews 13:8 We have to set before us the examples of valiant Captains, whom we ought diligently to follow.
- Hebrews 13:8 He repeateth the sum of the doctrine, to wit, the only ground of all precepts of manners, and that is this: That we ought to quiet and content ourselves in Christ only: for there was yet never any man saved without the knowledge of him, neither is at this day saved, neither shall be saved hereafter.
- Hebrews 13:9 He toucheth them which mixed an external worship, and especially the difference of meats, with the Gospel, which doctrine he plainly condemneth as clean repugnant to the benefit of Christ.
- Hebrews 13:9 By this one kind which concerneth the difference of clean and unclean meats, we have to understand all the ceremonial worship.
- Hebrews 13:9 Which observed the difference of them superstitiously.
- Hebrews 13:10 He refuteth their error by an apt and fit comparison. They which in times past served the Tabernacle, did not eat of the sacrifices whose blood was brought for sin into the holy place by the high Priest. Moreover these sacrifices did represent Christ our offering. Therefore they cannot be partakers of him which serve the Tabernacle, that is, such as stand in the service of the Law: but let not us be ashamed to follow him out of Jerusalem, from whence he was cast out and suffered: for in this also Christ, who is the truth, answereth that figure, in that he suffered without the gate.
- Hebrews 13:10 By the Altar, he meaneth the offering.
- Hebrews 13:10 Whereof they cannot be partakers which stubbornly retain the rites of the Law.
