9

Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

11

For 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 the camp.

11

for of those beasts whose blood is carried [as sacrifices for sin] into the [holy of] holies by the high priest, of these the bodies are burned outside the camp.

12

Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

12

Wherefore also Jesus, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate:

13

So, let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.

therefore let us go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach:

14

For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come.

God-pleasing Sacrifices

Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.

Sacrifices and Prayer

By him therefore let us offer [the] sacrifice of praise continually to God, that is, [the] fruit of [the] lips confessing his name.

16

But of doing good and communicating [of your substance] be not forgetful, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you.

17

Obey your leaders, and be submissive; for *they* watch over your souls as those that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not groaning, for this [would be] unprofitable for you.

18

Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a good conscience, desiring to conduct ourselves honorably in all things.

18

Pray for us: for we persuade ourselves that we have a good conscience, in all things desirous to walk rightly.

19

And I urge you all the more to do this, so that I may be restored to you the sooner.

19

But I much more beseech [you] to do this, that I may the more quickly be restored to you.

20

Benediction

Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord,

20

Benediction and Final Greetings

But the God of peace, who brought again from among [the] dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, in [the power of the] blood of [the] eternal covenant,
