Hebrews 13:14 Context
12Wherefore Iesus also, that hee might sanctifie the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. 13Let vs goe foorth therefore vnto him without the campe, bearing his reproch. 14For here haue we no continuing citie, but we seeke one to come. 15By him therefore let vs offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lippes, giuing thankes to his Name. 16But to doe good, and to communicate forget not, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

People's Bible Notes for Hebrews 13:14
Heb 13:14 For here have we no continuing city. The temple itself, and Jerusalem the city of their race, were about to be destroyed. They were all pilgrims seeking a city as their fathers did (Heb 11:13-16). But we seek one to come. They should then go forth like their fathers.
