Hebrews 13:11-21 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

11. For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the most holy place by the high priest as a sin offering are burned outside the camp.

12. Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate, so that He might sanctify the people by His own blood.

13. Let us then go to Him outside the camp, bearing His disgrace.

14. For we do not have an enduring city here; instead, we seek the one to come.

15. Therefore, through Him let us continually offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of our lips that confess His name.

16. Don’t neglect to do what is good and to share, for God is pleased with such sacrifices.

17. Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account, so that they can do this with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.

18. Pray for us; for we are convinced that we have a clear conscience, wanting to conduct ourselves honorably in everything.

19. And I especially urge you to pray that I may be restored to you very soon.

20. Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus — the great Shepherd of the sheep — with the blood of the everlasting covenant,

21. equip you with all that is good to do His will, working in us what is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ. Glory belongs to Him forever and ever. Amen.
