Hebrews 13
1 Let brotherly love continue.
Let brotherly love continue.
2 Of the entertaining of strangers, be not forgetful, for, hereby, unawares, have some entertained, messengers.
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unexpectedly.
3 Bear in mind them who are in bonds, as having become jointly bound, —them who are suffering ill-treatment, as being yourselves also in the body.
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
4 Let marriage be honourable in all, and the bed undefiled, for, fornicators and adulterers, God, will judge.
Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
5 Without fondness for money, be your way of life, —being content with the present things, —for, he, hath said: In nowise, thee, will I leave, no indeed! in nowise, thee, will I forsake:
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as all of you have: for he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
6 So that, taking courage, we may be saying—The Lord, hasteth to my cry, —I will not be put in fear: what shall, man, do unto me?
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
7 Be mindful of them who are guiding you, who, indeed, have spoken unto you, the word of God: the outgoing of whose behaviour, reviewing, be imitating, their faith.
Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word (logos) of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. (aiōn g165)
9 With teachings, manifold and strange, be not carried aside; for it is, noble, that, with gratitude, should, the heart, be getting confirmed, —not with matters of food, in which, they who are walking, have not been profited.
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 therein.
10 We have an altar—to eat out of which, they, have no right, who in the tent are doing divine service;
We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
11 For, in the case of those living creatures, whose blood for sins is carried into the holy place, through means of the high-priest, the bodies of these, are burned up, 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 Wherefore, Jesus also, that he might hallow the people through means of his own blood, outside the gate, suffered:
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 Now, therefore, let us be going forth unto him, outside the camp, his reproach bearing.
Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
14 For we have not here an abiding city, but, unto that which is to be, are we seeking our way.
For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
15 Through him, let us be offering up a sacrifice of praise, continually, unto God; that is, a fruit of lips confessing unto 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 But, of the doing good and of fellowship, be not forgetful; for, with such sacrifices as these, is, God, well-pleased.
But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17 Be yielding unto them who are guiding you, and submit yourselves; for they are watching over your souls, as having an account to render, that, with joy the same they may be doing, and not with sighing, —for, unprofitable unto you, were, this.
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, (logos) that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is useless for you.
18 Be praying for us; for we persuade ourselves that an honourable conscience have we, in all things honourably, desiring to behave ourselves.
Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.
19 But, much more abundantly, do I exhort you the same to do, that, more speedily, I may be restored, unto you.
But I plead to you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20 But, the God of peace, He that led up from among the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep, with the blood of an age-abiding covenant, —our Lord Jesus, (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 Fit you, by every good work, for the doing of his will, doing within us, that which is well-pleasing, before him through Jesus Christ: to whom be the glory, unto the ages of ages. 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 Now I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation, —for, even with brief [words], have I sent unto you.
And I plead to you, brethren, suffer the word (logos) of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.
23 Know ye that our brother Timothy hath been set at liberty, —with whom, if more speedily he be coming, I will see you.
Know all of you that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.
24 Salute all them who are guiding you, and all the saints: they from Italy, salute you.
Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.
25 Favour be with you all.
Grace be with you all. Amen.
