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.
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
3 Remember the prisoners as being in bondage together, those who are ill-treated as also yourselves being in the body.
Remember those in bonds, as bound with them; those in distress, as being yourselves also in the body.
4 Marriage is precious in every way, and the undefiled bed, but God will judge fornicators and adulterers.
Let marriage be honored in all respects, and the bed be undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
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.
Let your disposition be without covetousness, and be content with what ye have; for he hath said, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee;”
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 we boldly say, “The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear; what shall man do to me?”
7 Remember those who lead you, men who spoke the word of God to you, of whom, carefully observing the outcome of their conduct, imitate the faith-
Remember your leaders, who spoke to you the word of God; and considering well the end of their manner of life, imitate their faith.
Jesus Christ is yesterday and to-day the same, and for ever. (aiōn g165)
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.
Be not carried aside with various and strange teachings; for it is good that the heart be established with grace, not with meats, in which those who walked were not profited.
10 We have an altar from which they have no right to eat, those officiating at the tabernacle.
We have an altar, of which they cannot eat who serve the tabernacle.
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 beasts whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high-priest are burned without the camp.
12 Therefore Jesus also, so that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside the gate.
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 Let us therefore go forth to him outside the camp, bearing his reproach.
Let us then go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach;
14 For here we have no enduring city, but we seek that which is coming.
for here we have no abiding city, but are seeking that which is to come.
15 Through him therefore, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, fruit of lips acknowledging his name.
Through him therefore let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips giving thanks to his name.
16 But do not forget benevolence and fellowship, for God is well pleased with such sacrifices.
But works of kindness and liberality forget not; 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 yourselves to them; for they keep watch in behalf of your souls, as those who must give an account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief; for this is not for your advantage.
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 in all things to conduct ourselves well;
19 But I urge you to do this even more, so that I may be restored to you sooner.
but I the more earnestly entreat you to do this, that I may be restored to you the 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 up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of an everlasting covenant, even our Lord Jesus, (aiōnios g166)
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)
make you perfect in every good work, to do his will, doing in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be the glory for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 And I urge you, brothers, bear with the word of exhortation, for I also wrote to you in brief.
But I beseech you, brethren, bear with the word of my 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 the brother Timothy hath been set at liberty, with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.
24 Salute all those who lead you, and all the sanctified. The men from Italy salute you.
Salute all your leaders, and all the saints. Those from Italy salute you.
25 Grace is with you all. Truly.
Grace be with you all. Amen.
