New Testament

Hebrews 13:11-21 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

11. For the bodies of those animals whose blood is carried into the Holy of holies by the high priest, on behalf of sin, are burned outside the camp.

12. Because of this, Jesus, too, in order to sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered outside the gate.

13. And so, let us go forth to him, outside the camp, bearing his reproach.

14. For in this place, we have no everlasting city; instead, we seek one in the future.

15. Therefore, through him, let us offer the sacrifice of continual praise to God, which is the fruit of lips confessing his name.

16. But do not be willing to forget good works and fellowship. For God is deserving of such sacrifices.

17. Obey your leaders and be subject to them. For they watch over you, as if to render an account of your souls. So then, may they do this with joy, and not with grief. Otherwise, it would not be as helpful to you.

18. Pray for us. For we trust that we have a good conscience, being willing to conduct ourselves well in all things.

19. And I beg you, all the more, to do this, so that I may be quickly returned to you.

20. Then may the God of peace, who led back from the dead that great Pastor of sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ, with the blood of the eternal testament,

21. equip you with all goodness, so that you may do his will. May he accomplish in you whatever is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is glory forever and ever. Amen.
