Hebrews 13:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines: [a]for it is a good thing that the heart be stablished with grace, and not with [b]meats, which have not profited them that have been [c]occupied therein.
10 [d]We have an [e]altar, whereof they have no authority to eat, which [f]serve in the Tabernacle.
11 (A)For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high Priest for sin, are burnt without the camp.

- Hebrews 13:9 He toucheth them which mixed an external worship, and especially the difference of meats, with the Gospel, which doctrine he plainly condemneth as clean repugnant to the benefit of Christ.
- Hebrews 13:9 By this one kind which concerneth the difference of clean and unclean meats, we have to understand all the ceremonial worship.
- Hebrews 13:9 Which observed the difference of them superstitiously.
- Hebrews 13:10 He refuteth their error by an apt and fit comparison. They which in times past served the Tabernacle, did not eat of the sacrifices whose blood was brought for sin into the holy place by the high Priest. Moreover these sacrifices did represent Christ our offering. Therefore they cannot be partakers of him which serve the Tabernacle, that is, such as stand in the service of the Law: but let not us be ashamed to follow him out of Jerusalem, from whence he was cast out and suffered: for in this also Christ, who is the truth, answereth that figure, in that he suffered without the gate.
- Hebrews 13:10 By the Altar, he meaneth the offering.
- Hebrews 13:10 Whereof they cannot be partakers which stubbornly retain the rites of the Law.
