Berean Standard Bible
“For here we do not have a permanent city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.”
Near the end of the letter the author calls his readers to go outside the camp to Jesus, who suffered outside the city gate, and to bear the reproach he bore. Many of his readers were Jewish Christians who felt the pull of the security offered by Jerusalem and its temple.
