< Hebrews 13 >
1 Let brotherly love continue.
Let the love of the brethren continue in you;
2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.
and kindness to strangers forget not; for in this some who were made worthy, while not perceiving it, have received angels.
3 Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body.
Remember those who are bound, as if with them ye were bound: be mindful of those who are afflicted, as men (should) who are clothed with flesh.
4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
Honourable is marriage among all, and their bed is undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers Aloha judgeth.
5 Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you or forsake you."
Let not your mind love money; but let whatever ye have suffice you: for the Lord hath said, I will not abandon thee, nor withhold from thee support.
6 So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can humans do to me?"
And it is ours to say confidently, My Lord is my helper, I will not fear: what a man do to me?
7 Remember your leaders, who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith.
Remember your leaders; those who have spoken to you the word of Aloha: reflect on the consummation of their course, and imitate their faith.
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (aiōn )
Jeshu Meshiha is yesterday, and to-day, and for ever. (aiōn )
9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by food, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.
Unto strange and variable doctrines be not led away; for it is good that with grace we confirm our hearts, and not by meats, because they have not been helped who have walked in them.
10 We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat.
But we have an altar of which it is not lawful for them to eat who minister in the tabernacle.
11 For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside of the camp.
For those animals, whose blood the high priest took into the sanctuary for sins, had their flesh burned without the camp.
12 Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate.
On this account Jeshu, that he might sanctify his people by his blood, without the city suffered.
13 Let us therefore go out to him outside of the camp, bearing the abuse he bore.
Therefore let us also go forth unto him without the camp, being, clothed with his ignominy.
14 For we do not have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come.
For we have no city which is permanent here; but one that is to come we are expecting.
15 Through him, then, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name.
By him, therefore, let us offer up at all time unto Aloha the sacrifices of praise, which are the fruits of the lips which give thanks to his name.
16 But do not forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
And forget not compassion and communication to the poor: for with these sacrifices a man pleaseth Aloha.
17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy, and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.
Be persuaded by your leaders, and obey them; for they watch for your souls as men who must render an account of you, that with joy they may do this, and not with groans; for that is not profitable for you.
18 Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.
Pray for us; for we are confident we have a good conscience, that in all things we desire to act aright.
19 I strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you sooner.
And more especially I ask from you to do this, that I may be turned to you quickly.
20 Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an everlasting covenant, our Lord Jesus, (aiōnios )
But the God of peace, who brought up from the house of the dead the great Shepherd of the flock, by the blood of the eternal covenant, who is Jeshu Meshiha, our Lord, (aiōnios )
21 make you complete in every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever. Amen. (aiōn )
make you perfect in every good work, that ye may do his will, and effect in you whatever is good before him, by Jeshu Meshiha: to him be glory unto the age of ages. Amen. (aiōn )
22 But I exhort you, brothers, endure the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.
Now I request from you, my brethren, that ye prolong your minds on the word of exhortation; for in a few (words) I have written to you.
23 Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.
But know that our brother Timotheos is released; and if he come soon, with him I will see you.
24 Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy send you greetings.
Ask for the peace of all your leaders, and of all the saints: they of Italia ask for your peace.
25 Grace be with you all.
Grace be with you all. Amen.
