Hebrews 13:11-13 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.… The following are the chief grounds on which the first Christians were called to bear reproach, and on which we also may be called to bear the same. 1. They suffered reproach, as being followers of a crucified Saviour. 2. A second ground of the reproach suffered by the first Christians was that they forsook the ways of an evil world. 3. Christians are reproached by many on account of their general seriousness and spirituality of character. 4. Lastly: those who adopt any peculiar mode of religious observance have been at times exposed to ridicule on that account. (R. Hall, M. A.)
