8. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
9. Don’t let all kinds of strange teachings lead you into the wrong way. Depend only on God’s grace for spiritual strength, not on rules about foods. Obeying those rules doesn’t help anyone.
10. We have a sacrifice. And those priests who serve in the Holy Tent cannot eat from the sacrifice we have.
11. The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place and offers that blood for sins. But the bodies of those animals are burned outside the camp.
12. So Jesus also suffered outside the city. He died to make his people holy with his own blood.
13. So we should go to Jesus outside the camp and accept the same shame that he had.
14. Here on earth we don’t have a city that lasts forever. But we are waiting for the city that we will have in the future.
15. So through Jesus we should never stop offering our sacrifice to God. That sacrifice is our praise, coming from lips that speak his name.
