Hebrews 13
1
Let u brotherly love continue.
2
v Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby w some have entertained angels unawares.
3
x Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.
4
y Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge z the sexually immoral and adulterous.
5
Keep your life a free from love of money, and b be content with what you have, for he has said, c "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
6
So we can confidently say,
d "The Lord is my helper;
e I will not fear;
what can man do to me?"
7
Remember f your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and g imitate their faith.
8
Jesus Christ is h the same yesterday and today and forever.
9
Do not be i led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, j not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them.
10
We have an altar k from which those who serve the tent have no right to eat.
11
For l the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned m outside the camp.
12
So Jesus also n suffered o outside the gate in order to sanctify the people p through his own blood.
13
Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear q the reproach he endured.
14
For r here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.
15
s Through him then let us continually offer up t a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, u the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.
16
Do not neglect to do good and v to share what you have, for such w sacrifices are pleasing to God.
17
Obey x your leaders and submit to them, y for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to z give an account. a Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.
18
b Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things.
19
I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order c that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20
Now d may the God of peace e who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, f the great shepherd of the sheep, by g the blood of the eternal covenant,
21
h equip you with everything good that you may do his will, i working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, j to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
22
I appeal to you, brothers, bear with my word of exhortation, for k I have written to you briefly.
23
You should know that l our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon.
24
Greet all m your leaders and all the saints. Those who come from Italy send you greetings.
25
n Grace be with all of you.
