Hebrews 13:3-15 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

3. Be mindful of prisoners as if sharing their imprisonment, and of the ill-treated as of yourselves, for you also are in the body.

4. Let marriage be honored among all and the marriage bed be kept undefiled, for God will judge the immoral and adulterers.

5. Let your life be free from love of money but be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never forsake you or abandon you.”

6. Thus we may say with confidence:“The Lord is my helper,[and] I will not be afraid.What can anyone do to me?”

7. Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.

8. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

9. Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teaching. It is good to have our hearts strengthened by grace and not by foods, which do not benefit those who live by them.

10. We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.

11. The bodies of the animals whose blood the high priest brings into the sanctuary as a sin offering are burned outside the camp.

12. Therefore, Jesus also suffered outside the gate, to consecrate the people by his own blood.

13. Let us then go to him outside the camp, bearing the reproach that he bore.

14. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the one that is to come.

15. Through him [then] let us continually offer God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name.
