7Remember fyour leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and gimitate their faith. 8Jesus Christ is hthe same yesterday and today and forever. 9Do not be iled away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, jnot by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them. 10We have an altar kfrom which those who serve the tent1 have no right to eat. 11For lthe bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned moutside the camp. 12So Jesus also nsuffered ooutside the gate in order to sanctify the people pthrough his own blood. 13Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear qthe reproach he endured. 14For rhere we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. 15sThrough him then let us continually offer up ta sacrifice of praise to God, that is, uthe fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. 16Do not neglect to do good and vto share what you have, for such wsacrifices are pleasing to God.
