Hebrews 13:10-21

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Hebrews 13:10-21

10We have an altar from which those who serve at the tabernacle have no right to eat.
11Although the high priest brings the blood of animals into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin, the bodies are burned outside the camp.
12And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate, to sanctify the people by His own blood.
13Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace He bore.
14For here we do not have a permanent city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.
15Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that confess His name.
16And do not neglect to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
17Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch over your souls as those who must give an account. To this end, allow them to lead with joy and not with grief, for that would be of no advantage to you.
18Pray for us; we are convinced that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.
19And I especially urge you to pray that I may be restored to you soon.
20Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,
21equip you with every good thing to do His will. And may He accomplish in us what is pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
— Hebrews 13:10-21
