< Hebrews 13 >

1 May love for each other as brothers and sisters always continue!
Brotherly love should abide.
2 Don't forget to show love for strangers too, because by doing so some have welcomed angels without knowing it.
Of hospitality not do forget; through this for unawares some have entertained angels.
3 Remember those who are locked up in prison as if you were imprisoned with them. Remember those who are mistreated as if you were physically suffering with them.
do remember prisoners as bound with [them], [and] those being mistreated as also yourselves being in [the] body.
4 Everyone should honor marriage. Husbands and wives should be faithful to each other. God will judge adulterers.
Honorable [let] marriage [be] in all and the marriage bed undefiled; [the] sexually immoral (for *N(k)O*) and adulterers will judge God.
5 Don't love money; be content with what you have. God himself has said, “I'll never let you down; I'll never give up on you.”
[Let be] without covetousness [your] manner of life; being satisfied with the present; He Himself for has said: Certainly not you shall I leave, nor certainly not you (shall I forsake; *NK(o)*)
6 That's why we can confidently say, “The Lord is the one who helps me, so I won't be afraid. What can anyone do to me?”
So are confident we to say: [The] Lord [is] my helper, and not I will be afraid; what will do to me man?
7 Remember your leaders who explained God's word to you. Look again at the results of their lives, and imitate their trust in God.
do remember those leading you, who spoke to you the word of the God, of whom considering the outcome of [their] way of life, do imitate the faith.
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (aiōn g165)
Jesus Christ yesterday and today [is] the same and to the ages. (aiōn g165)
9 Don't get distracted by different kinds of strange teachings. It's good for the mind to be convinced by grace, not by laws concerning what we eat. Those who followed such laws didn't gain anything.
by teachings various and strange not (do be taken away; *N(k)O*) [it is] good for by grace to be strengthened for the heart not by foods in which not they profited those (being devoted. *N(k)O*)
10 We have an altar that those priests of the Tabernacle have no right to eat from.
We have an altar from which to eat not they have authority those in the tabernacle serving.
11 The carcasses of the animals, whose blood is carried by the high priest into the most holy place as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp.
Whose for is brought of animals the blood [as sacrifices] for sin into the Holy [Places] through the high priest, of those the bodies are burned outside the camp.
12 In the same way Jesus also died outside the city gate so that he could make God's people holy through his own blood.
Therefore also Jesus, so that he may sanctify through the own blood the people, outside the gate suffered.
13 So let us go out to him, outside the camp, experiencing and sharing in his shame.
Therefore we may go forth to Him outside the camp the reproach of Him bearing;
14 For we don't have a permanent city to live in here, we're looking for the home that is still to come.
Not for we have here an abiding city, but the coming [one] we are seeking for.
15 So let us through Jesus always offer a sacrifice of praise to God—this means speaking well of God, declaring his character.
Through Him then we may offer [the] sacrifice of praise (through *N(K)O*) (all [times] *N(k)O*) to God, That is [the] fruit of [the] lips confessing the name of Him.
16 And don't forget to do what is good, and to share with others what you have, for God is pleased when you make such sacrifices.
And the good and of sharing not do be forgetful; with such for sacrifices is well pleased God.
17 Follow your leaders, and do what they tell you, for they are watching out for you and are accountable. Act in such a way that they can do this happily—and not with sadness, for that wouldn't help you!
do obey to those leading you and do be submissive; they themselves for watch over the souls of you as an account to be giving that with joy this they may do and not groaning; unprofitable indeed for you [is] this.
18 Please pray for us. We're convinced we have acted in good conscience, always wanting to do what's good and right in every situation.
do pray for us; (we are assured *N(k)O*) for that a good conscience we have in all things well desiring to conduct ourselves.
19 I really want you to pray hard so that I can come back to see you soon.
More abundantly now I exhort [you] this to do, so that quicker I may be restored to you.
20 Now may the God of peace who raised our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, from the dead, with the blood of an eternal agreement— (aiōnios g166)
[May] the now God of peace, having brought out from [the] dead the Shepherd of the sheep great by [the] blood of [the] covenant eternal, the Lord of us Jesus, (aiōnios g166)
21 may he provide you with all that is good so you can do his will. May he work in us, doing everything that pleases him, through Jesus Christ—glory to him forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
would he equip you in everything (work *KO*) good in order to do the will of Him working in (us *N(K)O*) that which [is] well pleasing before Him through Jesus Christ; to whom [be] the glory to the ages of the ages, Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 I want to encourage you, brothers and sisters, to pay attention to what I've written to you in this short letter.
I exhort now you, brothers, do bear with the word of exhortation; only for in few words I have written to you.
23 You should know that Timothy has been set free. If he gets here soon, I will come with him to see you.
You know the brother (of us *no*) Timothy released with whom if quicker he shall come, I will see you.
24 Give my greetings to all your leaders, and to all the believers there. The believers here in Italy send their greetings.
do greet all those leading you and all the saints. Greet you those from Italy.
25 May God's grace be with all of you. Amen.
Grace [be] with all of you. (Amen. *KO*) (to Hebrews it was written from Italy through Timothy. *K*)
