Hebrews 13:13
Compare all
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 might1 sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.  
13 Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing aHis reproach.  
14 For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come.
15 aTherefore by Him let us continually offer bthe sacrifice of praise to God, that is, cthe fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.  
16 aBut do not forget to do good and to share, for bwith such sacrifices God is well pleased.  
17 aObey those who1 rule over you, and be submissive, for bthey 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.

Hebrews 13:13

Let us therefore go forth to him (toinun ecerxwmeqa prov auton). Inferential particle (toi, nun), usually post-positive (Luke 20:25; I Corinthians 9:26) only N.T. examples. Present middle volitive subjunctive of ecerxomai. "Let us keep on going out there to him." If a separation has to come between Judaism and Christianity, let us give up Judaism, and go out to Christ "outside the camp" and take our stand with him there on Golgotha, "bearing his reproach (ton oneidismon autou ferontev) as Jesus himself endured the Cross despising the shame (Hebrews 12:2) and as Moses accepted "the reproach of the Messiah" (Hebrews 11:26) in his day. The only decent place for the follower of Christ is beside the Cross of Christ with the reproach and the power (Romans 8:1 f.) in it. This is the great passionate plea of the whole Epistle.
