12 For this reason Jesus also died outside the city, in order to purify the people from sin with his own blood.
13 Let us, then, go to him outside the camp and share his shame.
14 For there is no permanent city for us here on earth; we are looking for the city which is to come.
15 Let us, then, always offer praise to God as our sacrifice through Jesus, which is the offering presented by lips that confess him as Lord.
16 Do not forget to do good and to help one another, because these are the sacrifices that please God.
17 Obey your leaders and follow their orders. They watch over your souls without resting, since they must give to God an account of their service. If you obey them, they will do their work gladly; if not, they will do it with sadness, and that would be of no help to you.
18 Keep on praying for us. We are sure we have a clear conscience, because we want to do the right thing at all times.
