Hebrews 13:7-16

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁷ Remember ^(A)those who led you, who spoke ^(B)the word of God to you; and considering the ^[a]result of their conduct, ^(C)imitate their faith. ^8 (D)Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. ^9 (E)Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to ^(F)be strengthened by grace, not by ^(G)foods, ^(H)through which those who ^[b]were so occupied were not benefited. ¹⁰ We have an altar ^(I)from which those ^(J)who serve the ^[c]tabernacle have no right to eat. ¹¹ For ^(K)the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp. ¹² Therefore Jesus also, ^(L)that He might sanctify the people ^(M)through His own blood, suffered ^(N)outside the gate. ¹³ So, let us go out to Him outside the camp, ^(O)bearing His reproach. ¹⁴ For here ^(P)we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking ^(Q)the city which is to come.

God-pleasing Sacrifices

^15 (R)Through Him then, let us continually offer up a ^(S)sacrifice of praise to God, that is, ^(T)the fruit of lips that ^[d]give thanks to His name. ¹⁶ And do not neglect doing good and ^(U)sharing, for ^(V)with such sacrifices God is pleased.
