Hebrews 13
1 Continue in brotherly love.
Let brotherly love continue.
2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for by this some have entertained angels unawares.
3 Remember those in prison as if you were bound with them, and those who are mistreated as if you were suffering with them.
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; [and] them who suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
4 Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
Marriage [is] honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but lewd persons and adulterers God will judge.
5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”
[Let your] manner of life [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6 So we say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”
So that we may boldly say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.
7 Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.
Remember them who have the rule over you, who have spoken to you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of [their] manner of life.
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to-day, and for ever. (aiōn g165)
9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace and not by foods of no value to those devoted to them.
Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines: for [it is] a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied in them.
10 We have an altar from which those who serve at the tabernacle have no right to eat.
We have an altar, of which they have no right to eat who serve the tabernacle.
11 Although the high priest brings the blood of animals into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin, the bodies are burned outside the camp.
For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate, to sanctify the people by His own blood.
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace He bore.
Let us go forth therefore to him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
14 For here we do not have a permanent city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.
For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that confess His name.
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of [our] lips, giving thanks to his name.
16 And do not neglect to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
But to do good, and to communicate, forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch over your souls as those who must give an account. To this end, allow them to lead with joy and not with grief, for that would be of no advantage to you.
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that [is] unprofitable for you.
18 Pray for us; we are convinced that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.
Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.
19 And I especially urge you to pray that I may be restored to you soon.
But I beseech [you] the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20 Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, (aiōnios g166)
Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, (aiōnios g166)
21 equip you with every good thing to do His will. And may He accomplish in us what is pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 I urge you, brothers, to bear with my word of exhortation, for I have only written to you briefly.
And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter to you in few words.
23 Be aware that our brother Timothy has been released. If he arrives soon, I will come with him to see you.
Know ye, that [our] brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.
24 Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy send you greetings.
Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.
25 Grace be with all of you.
Grace [be] with you all. Amen.
