Hebrews 13
1 May fraternal charity remain in you.
Let brotherly love continue.
2 And do not be willing to forget hospitality. For by it, certain persons, without realizing it, have received Angels as guests.
Forget not hospitality: for by it some having entertained angels were incognizant.
3 Remember those who are prisoners, just as if you were imprisoned with them, and those who endure hardships, just as if you were in their place.
Remember those bound, as having been bound along with them; those suffering persecutions, as you yourselves being also in the body.
4 May marriage be honorable in every way, and may the marriage bed be immaculate. For God will judge fornicators and adulterers.
Marriage is honorable among all, and the couch undefiled: for God will judge fornicators and adulterers.
5 Let your behavior be without avarice; be content with what you are offered. For he himself has said, “I will not abandon you, and I will not neglect you.”
Let your deportment be free from covetousness; being content with present things: for he said, I will not, I will not, leave you, neither do I ever forsake you;
6 So then, we may confidently say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear what man can do to me.”
so being confident we say, The Lord is my helper, I will not fear; what shall man do unto me?
7 Remember your leaders, who have spoken the Word of God to you, whose faith you imitate, by observing the goal of their way of life:
Remember your leaders, who spoke to you the word of God: the outgoing of whose deportment seeing, imitate their faith.
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to-day, and forever. (aiōn g165)
9 Do not be led away by changing or strange doctrines. And it is best for the heart to be sustained by grace, not by foods. For the latter have not been as useful to those who walked by them.
Be not carried away with fantastical and strange teachings: for it is good that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, in which those going round were not profited.
10 We have an altar: those who serve in the tabernacle have no authority to eat from it.
We have an altar, from which those ministering in the tabernacle have no right to eat.
11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is carried into the Holy of holies by the high priest, on behalf of sin, are burned outside the camp.
For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is shed by the high priest in the sanctuary for sin, are utterly burnt up outside of the camp.
12 Because of this, Jesus, too, in order to sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered outside the gate.
Therefore indeed Jesus, in order that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 And so, let us go forth to him, outside the camp, bearing his reproach.
Therefore let us go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach;
14 For in this place, we have no everlasting city; instead, we seek one in the future.
for we have here no continuing city, but we are seeking unto one which is to come.
15 Therefore, through him, let us offer the sacrifice of continual praise to God, which is the fruit of lips confessing his name.
Therefore let us offer to God a sacrifice of praise continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, confessing to his name.
16 But do not be willing to forget good works and fellowship. For God is deserving of such sacrifices.
But do not forget benefaction and fellowship: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17 Obey your leaders and be subject to them. For they watch over you, as if to render an account of your souls. So then, may they do this with joy, and not with grief. Otherwise, it would not be as helpful to you.
Obey your leaders, and be submissive: for they are watching for your souls, as they shall give an account that they may do this with joy and not with grief, for this is unprofitable to you.
18 Pray for us. For we trust that we have a good conscience, being willing to conduct ourselves well in all things.
Pray for us: for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, wishing in all things to deport ourselves in harmony with the beauty of holiness.
19 And I beg you, all the more, to do this, so that I may be quickly returned to you.
But I the more exhort you to do this, that I may the more speedily be restored unto you.
20 Then may the God of peace, who led back from the dead that great Pastor of sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ, with the blood of the eternal testament, (aiōnios g166)
And the God of peace, the one having raised up from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, the great shepherd of the sheep, make you perfect, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, (aiōnios g166)
21 equip you with all goodness, so that you may do his will. May he accomplish in you whatever is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
in every good thing to do his will, doing that which is acceptable in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory unto the age of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 And I beg you, brothers, that you may permit this word of consolation, especially since I have written to you with few words.
But I exhort you, brethren, to receive the word of consolation: for I have indeed written unto you briefly.
23 Know that our brother Timothy has been set free. If he arrives soon, then I will see you with him.
Know our brother Timothy has departed; with whom, if he may come the more speedily, I shall see you.
24 Greet all your leaders and all the saints. The brothers from Italy greet you.
Salute all your leaders, and all the saints. Those from Italy salute you.
25 Grace be with you all. Amen.
Grace be with you all.
