Hebrews 13:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate, to sanctify the people by His own blood.

13 Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace He bore.

14 For here we do not have a permanent city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.

15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that confess His name.

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