Hebrews 13
1 Let brotherly love always continue.
Let brotherly love continue.
2 Do not neglect to show kindness to strangers; for, in this way, some, without knowing it, have had angels as their guests.
Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.
3 Remember prisoners, as if you were in prison with them; and remember those suffering ill-treatment, for you yourselves also are still in the body.
Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body.
4 Let marriage be held in honour among all, and let the marriage bed be unpolluted; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
5 Your lives should be untainted by love for money. Be content with what you have; for God Himself has said, "I will never, never let go your hand: I will never never forsake you."
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."
6 So that we fearlessly say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid: what can man do to me?"
So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can humans do to me?"
7 Remember your former leaders--it was they who brought you God's Message. Bear in mind how they ended their lives, and imitate their faith.
Remember your leaders, who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith.
Yeshua the Messiah is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (aiōn g165)
9 Do not be drawn aside by all sorts of strange teaching; for it is well to have the heart made stedfast through God's grace, and not by special kinds of food, from which those who scrupulously attend to them have derived no benefit.
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.
10 We Christians have an altar from which the ministers of the Jewish Tent have no right to eat.
We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat.
11 For the bodies of those animals of which the blood is carried by the High Priest into the Holy place as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp.
For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the cohen hagadol as an offering for sin, are burned outside of the camp.
12 And for this reason Jesus also, in order, by His own blood, to set the people free from sin, suffered outside the gate.
Therefore Yeshua also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate.
13 Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp, sharing the insults directed against Him.
Let us therefore go out to him outside of the camp, bearing the abuse he bore.
14 For we have no permanent city here, but we are longing for the city which is soon to be ours.
For we do not have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come.
15 Through Him, then, let us continually lay on the altar a sacrifice of praise to God, namely, the utterance of lips that give thanks to His Name.
Through him, then, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name.
16 And do not forget to be kind and liberal; for with sacrifices of that sort God is greatly pleased.
But do not forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17 Obey your leaders and be submissive to them. For they are keeping watch over your souls as those who will have to give account; that they may do this with joy and not with lamentation. For that would be of no advantage to you.
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.
18 Keep on praying for us; for we are sure that we have clear consciences, and we desire to live nobly in every respect.
Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.
19 I specially urge this upon you in order that I may be the more speedily restored to you.
I strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you sooner.
20 Now may God who gives peace, and brought Jesus, our Lord, up again from among the dead--even Him who, by virtue of the blood of the eternal Covenant, is the great Shepherd of the sheep-- (aiōnios g166)
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 Yeshua, (aiōnios g166)
21 fully equip you with every grace that you may need for the doing of His will, producing in us that which will truly please Him through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory to the Ages of the Ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
make you complete in every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Yeshua the Messiah, to whom be the glory forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 Bear with me, brethren, when I thus exhort you; for, in fact, it is but a short letter that I have written to you.
But I exhort you, brothers, endure the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.
23 You will rejoice to hear that our brother Timothy has been set at liberty. If he comes soon, I will see you with him.
Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.
24 Greet all your leaders and all God's people. The brethren from Italy send you greetings.
Greet all of your leaders and all the kadoshim. Those from Italy send you greetings.
25 Grace be with you all! Amen.
Grace be with you all.
