Hebrews 13

1 Let brotherly love abide.

Let brotherly love continue.

2 Do not forget love for strangers, for by this some lodged agents, unaware.

3 Remember the prisoners as being in bondage together, those who are ill-treated as also yourselves being in the body.

4 Marriage is precious in every way, and the undefiled bed, but God will judge fornicators and adulterers.

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

5 The Way of life is to be without love of money, being content with the things that are present, for he has said, I will, no, not leave thee, and also, I will, no, not forsake thee.

Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”

6 So then we have confidence to say, The Lord is a helper to me, and I will not fear. What will man do to me?

So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

9 Be not carried away by various and foreign doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established with grace, not with foods by which those who walked were not benefited.

Do not be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

10 We have an altar from which they have no right to eat, those officiating at the tabernacle.

We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat.

11 For of the beasts whose blood is brought into the holy things for sin by the high priest, the bodies of these are burned outside the camp.

For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside of the camp.

12 Therefore Jesus also, so that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside the gate.

16 But do not forget benevolence and fellowship, for God is well pleased with such sacrifices.

But do not forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

17 Have confidence in those who lead you, and yield yourselves, for they watch for your souls as men who will render account, so that they may do this with joy, and not groaning, for this is unprofitable for you.

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.

18 Pray about us, for we trust that we have a good conscience, desiring to behave well in all things.

Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.

19 But I urge you to do this even more, so that I may be restored to you sooner.

20 Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep by the blood of an eternal covenant-our Lord Jesus- (aiōnios g166)

Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep with the blood of the consummate (aiōnios g166) covenant, our Lord Jesus,

21 may he make you fully qualified in every good work in order to do his will, doing in you what is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory into the ages of the ages. Truly. (aiōn g165)

align you in every good thing so as to do his will, doing in us that which is wellpleasing before him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory for the ages (aiōn g165) of the ages (aiōn g165). Amen.

22 And I urge you, brothers, bear with the word of exhortation, for I also wrote to you in brief.

But I exhort you, brothers, endure the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.

23 Know ye, brother Timothy who was set free is with whom I will see you, if he comes sooner.

Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.

Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. The Italians greet you.

25 Grace is with you all. Truly.

Grace be with you all. Amen.
