Hebrews 13:5-17

Let your behavior be without avarice; be content with what you are offered. For he himself has said, "I will not abandon you, and I will not neglect you." So then, we may confidently say, "The Lord is my helper. I will not fear what man can do to me." Remember your leaders, who have spoken the Word of God to you, whose faith you imitate, by observing the goal of their way of life: Jesus Christ, yesterday and today; Jesus Christ forever. Do not be led away by changing or strange doctrines. And it is best for the heart to be sustained by grace, not by foods. For the latter have not been as useful to those who walked by them. We have an altar: those who serve in the tabernacle have no authority to eat from it. For the bodies of those animals whose blood is carried into the Holy of holies by the high priest, on behalf of sin, are burned outside the camp. Because of this, Jesus, too, in order to sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered outside the gate. And so, let us go forth to him, outside the camp, bearing his reproach. For in this place, we have no everlasting city; instead, we seek one in the future. Therefore, through him, let us offer the sacrifice of continual praise to God, which is the fruit of lips confessing his name. But do not be willing to forget good works and fellowship. For God is deserving of such sacrifices. Obey your leaders and be subject to them. For they watch over you, as if to render an account of your souls. So then, may they do this with joy, and not with grief. Otherwise, it would not be as helpful to you.
