Hebrews 13

Hebrews 13:1-4

¹Let brotherly love continue. ²Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it. ³Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body. ⁴Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

Let brotherly love continue; show hospitality to strangers—some entertained angels unaware; remember prisoners and the mistreated; honor marriage and keep the bed undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

Hebrews 13:10-16

¹⁰We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat. ¹¹For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside of the camp. ¹²Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate. ¹³Let’s therefore go out to him outside of the camp, bearing his reproach. ¹⁴For we don’t have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come. ¹⁵Through him, then, let’s offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance to his name. ¹⁶But don’t forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

We have an altar from which tabernacle servers cannot eat; Jesus suffered outside the gate to sanctify the people—so let us go to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach, for here we have no lasting city; through Him offer God a sacrifice of praise and do not neglect sharing.
