Hebrews 13:9

Concluding Ethical Instructions

⁸ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day--yes, and to the ages to come. ⁹ Do not be drawn aside by all sorts of strange teaching; for it is well to have the heart made stedfast through God's grace, and not by special kinds of food, from which those who scrupulously attend to them have derived no benefit. ¹⁰ We Christians have an altar from which the ministers of the Jewish Tent have no right to eat.

By Grace

From God
