Hebrews 13
1 Let brotherly love continue.
Let brotherly love remain.
2 Of the entertaining of strangers, be not forgetful, for, hereby, unawares, have some entertained, messengers.
Do not be forgetful of hospitality, for through this some entertained messengers unaware.
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.
Be mindful of those in bonds, as having been bound with them, of those maltreated, as yourselves also being in the body.
4 Let marriage be honourable in all, and the bed undefiled, for, fornicators and adulterers, God, will judge.
The marriage [is to be] honored by all, and the bed undefiled, for God will judge whoremongers and adulterers.
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:
[Be] without covetous behavior, being content with the things present, for He has said, “No, I will not leave, no, 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 boldly say, “The LORD [is] to me a helper, and I will not fear what man will do to 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.
Be mindful of those leading you, who spoke to you the word of God, who, considering the outcome of [their] behavior, imitate [their] faith:
Jesus Christ—the same yesterday and today and for all ages. (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.
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;
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 from which they who are serving the Dwelling Place have no authority to eat,
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 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.
12 Wherefore, Jesus also, that he might hallow the people through means of his own blood, outside the gate, suffered:
For this reason, also Jesus—that He might sanctify the people through [His] own blood—suffered outside the gate;
13 Now, therefore, let us be going forth unto him, outside the camp, his reproach bearing.
now then, may we go forth to Him outside 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 we have no abiding city here, but we seek the coming one.
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.
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.
16 But, of the doing good and of fellowship, be not forgetful; for, with such sacrifices as these, is, God, well-pleased.
And do not be forgetful of doing good and of fellowship, for God is well-pleased with such sacrifices.
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.
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.
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 that we have a good conscience, willing to behave well in all things,
19 But, much more abundantly, do I exhort you the same to do, that, more speedily, I may be restored, unto you.
and I call on [you] to do this more abundantly, that I may be restored to you more quickly.
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)
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)
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, 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)
22 Now I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation, —for, even with brief [words], have I sent unto you.
And I beg you, brothers, endure the word of the exhortation, for I have also written to you through 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 that the brother Timotheus is released, with whom I will see you, if he may come more shortly.
24 Salute all them who are guiding you, and all the saints: they from Italy, salute you.
Greet all those leading you, and all the holy ones. Those from Italy greet you.
25 Favour be with you all.
The grace [is] with you all! Amen.
