< Προς Εβραιους 13 >
Let brotherly love remain.
2 της φιλοξενιας μη επιλανθανεσθε δια ταυτης γαρ ελαθον τινες ξενισαντες αγγελους
Do not be forgetful of hospitality, for through this some entertained messengers unaware.
3 μιμνησκεσθε των δεσμιων ως συνδεδεμενοι των κακουχουμενων ως και αυτοι οντες εν σωματι
Be mindful of those in bonds, as having been bound with them, of those maltreated, as yourselves also being in the body.
4 τιμιος ο γαμος εν πασιν και η κοιτη αμιαντος πορνους δε και μοιχους κρινει ο θεος
The marriage [is to be] honored by all, and the bed undefiled, for God will judge whoremongers and adulterers.
5 αφιλαργυρος ο τροπος αρκουμενοι τοις παρουσιν αυτος γαρ ειρηκεν ου μη σε ανω ουδ ου μη σε εγκαταλιπω
[Be] without covetous behavior, being content with the things present, for He has said, “No, I will not leave, no, nor forsake you,”
6 ωστε θαρρουντας ημας λεγειν κυριος εμοι βοηθος και ου φοβηθησομαι τι ποιησει μοι ανθρωπος
so that we boldly say, “The LORD [is] to me a helper, and I will not fear what man will do to me.”
7 μνημονευετε των ηγουμενων υμων οιτινες ελαλησαν υμιν τον λογον του θεου ων αναθεωρουντες την εκβασιν της αναστροφης μιμεισθε την πιστιν
Be mindful of those leading you, who spoke to you the word of God, who, considering the outcome of [their] behavior, imitate [their] faith:
8 ιησους χριστος χθες και σημερον ο αυτος και εις τους αιωνας (aiōn )
Jesus Christ—the same yesterday and today and for all ages. (aiōn )
9 διδαχαις ποικιλαις και ξεναις μη περιφερεσθε καλον γαρ χαριτι βεβαιουσθαι την καρδιαν ου βρωμασιν εν οις ουκ ωφεληθησαν οι περιπατησαντες
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 εχομεν θυσιαστηριον εξ ου φαγειν ουκ εχουσιν εξουσιαν οι τη σκηνη λατρευοντες
we have an altar from which they who are serving the Dwelling Place have no authority to eat,
11 ων γαρ εισφερεται ζωων το αιμα περι αμαρτιας εις τα αγια δια του αρχιερεως τουτων τα σωματα κατακαιεται εξω της παρεμβολης
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 διο και ιησους ινα αγιαση δια του ιδιου αιματος τον λαον εξω της πυλης επαθεν
For this reason, also Jesus—that He might sanctify the people through [His] own blood—suffered outside the gate;
13 τοινυν εξερχωμεθα προς αυτον εξω της παρεμβολης τον ονειδισμον αυτου φεροντες
now then, may we go forth to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach;
14 ου γαρ εχομεν ωδε μενουσαν πολιν αλλα την μελλουσαν επιζητουμεν
for we have no abiding city here, but we seek the coming one.
15 δι αυτου ουν αναφερωμεν θυσιαν αινεσεως διαπαντος τω θεω τουτ εστιν καρπον χειλεων ομολογουντων τω ονοματι αυτου
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 της δε ευποιιας και κοινωνιας μη επιλανθανεσθε τοιαυταις γαρ θυσιαις ευαρεστειται ο θεος
And do not be forgetful of doing good and of fellowship, for God is well-pleased with such sacrifices.
17 πειθεσθε τοις ηγουμενοις υμων και υπεικετε αυτοι γαρ αγρυπνουσιν υπερ των ψυχων υμων ως λογον αποδωσοντες ινα μετα χαρας τουτο ποιωσιν και μη στεναζοντες αλυσιτελες γαρ υμιν τουτο
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 προσευχεσθε περι ημων πεποιθαμεν γαρ οτι καλην συνειδησιν εχομεν εν πασιν καλως θελοντες αναστρεφεσθαι
Pray for us, for we trust that we have a good conscience, willing to behave well in all things,
19 περισσοτερως δε παρακαλω τουτο ποιησαι ινα ταχιον αποκατασταθω υμιν
and I call on [you] to do this more abundantly, that I may be restored to you more quickly.
20 ο δε θεος της ειρηνης ο αναγαγων εκ νεκρων τον ποιμενα των προβατων τον μεγαν εν αιματι διαθηκης αιωνιου τον κυριον ημων ιησουν (aiōnios )
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 )
21 καταρτισαι υμας εν παντι εργω αγαθω εις το ποιησαι το θελημα αυτου ποιων εν υμιν το ευαρεστον ενωπιον αυτου δια ιησου χριστου ω η δοξα εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων αμην (aiōn )
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 )
22 παρακαλω δε υμας αδελφοι ανεχεσθε του λογου της παρακλησεως και γαρ δια βραχεων επεστειλα υμιν
And I beg you, brothers, endure the word of the exhortation, for I have also written to you through few words.
23 γινωσκετε τον αδελφον τιμοθεον απολελυμενον μεθ ου εαν ταχιον ερχηται οψομαι υμας
Know that the brother Timotheus is released, with whom I will see you, if he may come more shortly.
24 ασπασασθε παντας τους ηγουμενους υμων και παντας τους αγιους ασπαζονται υμας οι απο της ιταλιας
Greet all those leading you, and all the holy ones. Those from Italy greet you.
25 η χαρις μετα παντων υμων αμην [ προς εβραιους εγραφη απο της ιταλιας δια τιμοθεου ]
The grace [is] with you all! Amen.
