13. So let us go out to him, outside the camp, and bear the disgrace he bore.
14. For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come.
15. Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name.
16. And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.
17. Obey your spiritual leaders, and do what they say. Their work is to watch over your souls, and they are accountable to God. Give them reason to do this with joy and not with sorrow. That would certainly not be for your benefit.
18. Pray for us, for our conscience is clear and we want to live honorably in everything we do.
19. And especially pray that I will be able to come back to you soon.
