Hebrews 13:7-18
New King James Version (NKJV)

Concluding Religious Directions
7 Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow,
considering the outcome of their conduct. 8 Jesus
Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 9 Do not be carried
about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be
established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.

10 We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to
eat. 11 For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the
high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp. 12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might
sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate. 13 Therefore let us go
forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach. 14 For here we have no continuing
city, but we seek the one to come. 15 Therefore by Him let us continually offer the
sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His
name. 16 But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well
pleased.

17 Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those
who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable
for you.
Prayer Requested
18 Pray for us; for we are confident that we have a good conscience, in all things desiring to
live honorably.
