Hebrews 13:7-17 — Legacy Standard Bible

⁷Remember your ^aleaders, who spoke ^bthe word of God to you; and considering the ¹result of their conduct, ^cimitate their faith. ⁸^aJesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. ⁹^aDo 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. ¹⁵^aThrough 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.

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