New Testament

Hebrews 13:9-16 New English Translation (NET)

9. Do not be carried away by all sorts of strange teachings. For it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not ritual meals, which have never benefited those who participated in them.

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

11. For the bodies of those animals whose blood the high priest brings into the sanctuary as an offering for sin are burned outside the camp.

12. Therefore, to sanctify the people by his own blood, Jesus also suffered outside the camp.

13. We must go out to him, then, outside the camp, bearing the abuse he experienced.

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

15. Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, acknowledging his name.

16. And do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for God is pleased with such sacrifices.
