Hebrews 13
1 Continue in brotherly love.
Let brotherly love continue.
2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by showing hospitality some have hosted angels without knowing it.
Be not forgetful of hospitality; for thereby some have entertained angels, not knowing it.
3 Remember those in prison, as though you were in prison with them. Also remember those who are mistreated, as though you yourselves were suffering with them.
Remember those that are in bonds, as if bound with them: and those that suffer evil as being yourselves also in the body.
4 Marriage must be held in honor by all, and the marriage bed must be kept pure, but God will judge fornicators and adulterers.
Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is not defiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
5 Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have, for God has said, “I will never leave yoʋ or forsake yoʋ.”
Let your conversation be free from covetousness, and be contented with what ye have: for He hath said, I will not leave thee; I will never, never forsake thee.
6 So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will not fear anything that man might do to me.”
So that we may say with courage, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
7 Remember your leaders, who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their conduct, and imitate their faith.
Remember your guides, who spake the word of God to you; whose faith imitate, considering the happy end of their conversation.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, to day, and for ever: (aiōn g165)
9 Do not be carried away by various kinds of strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by regulations about food, which have not benefited those who follow them.
be not then carried about by various and strange doctrines; for it is good that the heart be established by grace, and not in meats, in which those that have been most exact, have not profited by them.
10 We have an altar from which those who serve in the tabernacle have no right to eat.
We have an altar, of which those who perform service in the tabernacle have no right to eat.
11 For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as an offering for sin are burned outside the camp.
As the bodies of those animals, whose blood being offered for sin is brought into the holy place by the high-priest, are not eaten, but are burnt without the camp.
12 So Jesus also suffered outside the city gate in order to sanctify the people by his own blood.
Wherefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured.
Let us then go out unto Him without the camp, bearing his reproach: for we have here no continuing city,
14 For here we do not have a lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.
but are seeking that which is to come.
15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess 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 Do not neglect to do good and to share with others, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
But to do good and to communicate forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who must give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no benefit to you.
Be ruled by those that are your guides, and submit to them: for they watch for your souls; (as those that must give an account) that they may do it with joy and not with uneasiness: for this were unprofitable for you.
18 Pray for us, for we are convinced that we have a clear conscience, desiring to live honorably in every way.
Pray for us; for we are confident that we have a good conscience, desiring in all things to behave well.
19 I urge you all the more to do this, so that I may be restored to you more quickly.
And I the more earnestly intreat you to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20 Now may the God of peace, who by the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, (aiōnios g166)
Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the everlasting covenant, (aiōnios g166)
21 equip you in every good work so that you may do his will. May he accomplish in you what is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. 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 urge you, brothers, to bear with this brief word of exhortation that I have written to you.
I beseech you, brethren, bear with this word of exhortation: as I have written to you in brief.
23 You should know that our brother Timothy has been released. If he comes soon, he will be with me when I see you.
Know that our brother Timothy is set at liberty, with whom (if he come soon) I will see you.
24 Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those who are from Italy greet you.
Salute all that preside over you, yea and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.
25 Grace be with you all. Amen.
Grace be with you all. Amen.
