11 Although the high priest brings the blood of animals into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin, the bodies are burned outside the camp. 12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate, to sanctify the people by His own blood. 13 Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace He bore. 14 For here we do not have a permanent city, but we are looking for the city that is to come. 15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God {Theō} a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that confess His name. 16 And do not neglect to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God {Theos} is pleased. 17 Obey your⁺ leaders and submit to them, for they watch over your⁺ souls {psychōn} as those who must give an account. To this end, allow them to lead with joy and not with grief, for that would be of no advantage to you⁺. 18 Pray for us; we are convinced that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way. 19 And I especially urge you to pray that I may be restored to you⁺ soon. 20 Now may the God {Theos} of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant {diathēkēs} brought back from the dead our Lord {Kyrion} Jesus (YHWH saves), that great Shepherd of the sheep, 21 equip you⁺ with every good thing [every good work] to do His will. And may He accomplish in us [you] what is pleasing in His sight through Jesus (YHWH saves) Christ (the Anointed One), to whom be glory {doxa} forever \to the ages/ and ever. Amen. 22 I urge you⁺, brothers (and sisters), to bear with my word of exhortation, for I have only written to you⁺ briefly. 23 Be aware that our brother Timothy (honoring God) has been released. If he arrives soon, I will come with him to see you⁺. 24 Greet all your⁺ leaders and all the saints (holy ones). Those from Italy send you⁺ greetings. 25 Grace be with all of you⁺ [Amen.].
