Hebrews 13:7-16 (Epistle, Fathers)
- 7
- Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct.
- 8
- Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
- 9
- Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.
- 10
- We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.
- 11
- For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp.
- 12
- Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.
- 13
- Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach.
- 14
- For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come.
- 15
- Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.
- 16
- But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
