9 Do not be carried1 about with various and strange doctrines. For itis 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 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.
15aTherefore by Him let us continually offer bthe sacrifice of praise to God, that is, cthe fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.
16aBut do not forget to do good and to share, for bwith such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17aObey 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.
Prayer Requested
18aPray for us; for we are confident that we have ba good conscience, in all things desiring to live honorably.
Of those beasts whose blood (wn zwwn to aima toutwn). The antecedent (zwwn) of wn is here incorporated and attracted into the case of the relative, "the blood of which beasts" and then toutwn (genitive demonstrative) is added, "of these." Cf. Leviticus 4:12 f., Leviticus 4:21; Leviticus 16:27 for the Old Testament ritual in such cases. This is the only example in the LXX or N.T. where zwwn (animal) is used of a sacrificial victim. See also Exodus 29:14; Exodus 32:26 f. for burning without the camp.
