Hebrews 13:1–16

Sacrifices Pleasing to God

¹Let ^alove of the brothers continue.

²Do not neglect to ^ashow hospitality to strangers, for by this some have ^bentertained angels without knowing it.

^3aRemember ^bthe prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you yourselves also are in the body.

^4aMarriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled, ^bfor the sexually immoral and adulterers God will judge.

⁵Make sure that your way of life is ^afree from the love of money, ^bbeing content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “^cI will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,”

⁶so that we confidently say,

“^aThe ¹Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid.

What will man do to me?”

⁷Remember your ^aleaders, who spoke ^bthe word of God to you; and considering the ¹result of their conduct, ^cimitate their faith.

^8aJesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

^9aDo not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to ^bbe strengthened by grace, not by ^cfoods, ^dthrough which those who ¹were so occupied were not benefited.

¹⁰We have an altar ^afrom which those ^bwho serve the tabernacle have no authority to eat.

¹¹For ^athe bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp.

¹²Therefore Jesus also, ^athat He might sanctify the people ^bthrough His own blood, suffered ^coutside the gate.

¹³So, let us go out to Him outside the camp, ^abearing His reproach.

¹⁴For here ^awe do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking ^bthe one to come.

^15aThrough Him then, let us continually offer up a ^bsacrifice of praise to God, that is, ^cthe fruit of lips that confess His name.

¹⁶And do not neglect doing good and ^asharing, for ^bwith such sacrifices God is pleased.
