013:008 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day—yes, and to the ages to come.
013:009 Do not be drawn aside by all sorts of strange teaching; for it is well to have the heart made stedfast through God's grace, and not by special kinds of food, from which those who scrupulously attend to them have derived no benefit.
013:010 We Christians have an altar from which the ministers of the Jewish Tent have no right to eat.
013:011 For the bodies of those animals of which the blood is carried by the High Priest into the Holy place as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp.
013:012 And for this reason Jesus also, in order, by His own blood,
to set the people free from sin, suffered outside the gate.
013:013 Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp, sharing the insults
directed against Him.
013:014 For we have no permanent city here, but we are longing for
the city which is soon to be ours.
013:015 Through Him, then, let us continually lay on the altar a sacrifice of praise to God, namely, the utterance of lips that give thanks to His Name.
013:016 And do not forget to be kind and liberal; for with sacrifices of that sort God is greatly pleased.
013:017 Obey your leaders and be submissive to them. For they are keeping watch over your souls as those who will have to give account; that they may do this with joy and not with lamentation. For that would be of no advantage to you.
