Hebrews 13:14-16
New Catholic Bible
14 For here we have no lasting city, but we are seeking the one that is to come. 15 Through him let us continually offer up to God a sacrifice of praise,[a] that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name.
16 [b]Do not neglect to do good works and to share with others what you have, for these are the kind of sacrifices that please God.
