Hebrews 13
1 Let brotherly love remain.
Let brotherly love continue.
2 Do not be forgetful of hospitality, for through this some entertained messengers unaware.
Do not forget hospitality to strangers, for in doing so some have entertained angels without knowing it.
3 Be mindful of those in bonds, as having been bound with them, of those maltreated, as yourselves also being in the body.

4 The marriage [is to be] honored by all, and the bed undefiled, for God will judge whoremongers and adulterers.
Marriage is honorable among all and the marriage bed undefiled, but God will judge fornicators and adulterers.
5 [Be] without covetous behavior, being content with the things present, for He has said, “No, I will not leave, no, nor forsake you,”
Your way of life should be free from the love of money, being content with what you have, because He Himself has said: “I absolutely will not desert you; I most certainly will not abandon you.”
6 so that we boldly say, “The LORD [is] to me a helper, and I will not fear what man will do to me.”
So we can say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”
7 Be mindful of those leading you, who spoke to you the word of God, who, considering the outcome of [their] behavior, imitate [their] faith:
Remember your leaders, those who spoke the Word of God to you, whose faith imitate, considering the outcome of their conduct.
Jesus Christ is Himself, yesterday and today and into the ages. (aiōn g165)
9 Do not be carried away with strange and manifold teachings, for [it is] good that by grace the heart is confirmed, not with meats, in which they who were occupied were not profited;
Do not be carried away by various and strange teachings, because it is good that the heart be established by grace, not foods, by which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

We have an altar from which those who serve in the Tabernacle have no right to eat.
11 for of those beasts whose blood is brought for sin into the holy places through the chief priest—of these the bodies are burned outside the camp.
Because the bodies of the animals—whose blood, concerning sin, is brought into the Holies by the high priest—are burned up outside the camp,
12 For this reason, also Jesus—that He might sanctify the people through [His] own blood—suffered outside the gate;
therefore Jesus also, so that He might sanctify the people by His own blood, suffered outside the city gate.
13 now then, may we go forth to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach;
So then, let us go out to Him, outside the camp, bearing His disgrace;
14 for we have no abiding city here, but we seek the coming one.
because here we do not have a permanent city, but we seek the coming one.
15 Through Him, then, we may always offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips, giving thanks to His Name.
Through Him therefore, at all times, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God—the fruit of lips that identify with His name.
16 And do not be forgetful of doing good and of fellowship, for God is well-pleased with such sacrifices.
(But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.)
17 Be obedient to those leading you, and be subject, for these watch for your souls, as about to give account, that they may do this with joy, and not sighing, for this [is] unprofitable to you.
Obey your leaders and submit, for they keep watch over your souls, as those who must give account, so that they may do it with joy and not sighing (which would be unprofitable for you).
18 Pray for us, for we trust that we have a good conscience, willing to behave well in all things,
Pray for us; for we are confident that we have a good conscience, desiring to live commendably in all things;
19 and I call on [you] to do this more abundantly, that I may be restored to you more quickly.
I especially urge you to do this so that I may be restored to you more quickly.
20 And the God of peace, who brought up the Great Shepherd of the sheep out of the dead—by the blood of a perpetual covenant—our Lord Jesus, (aiōnios g166)
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)
21 make you perfect in every good work to do His will, doing in you that which is well-pleasing before Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom [is] the glory through the ages of the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
equip you for every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 And I beg you, brothers, endure the word of the exhortation, for I have also written to you through few words.
Now I appeal to you, brothers, bear with this word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.
23 Know that the brother Timotheus is released, with whom I will see you, if he may come more shortly.

The Grace be with you all. Amen.
