Hebrews 13

Service That Pleases God
1#1Pe 1:22; 2:17Let brotherly love continue. 2#Mt 25:35; 1Pe 4:9Do not forget to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unknowingly. 3#Mt 25:36; Col 4:18Remember those who are in chains, as if imprisoned with them, and those who are ill treated, since you are also in the body.
4#1Co 6:9; Gal 5:19Marriage is to be honored among everyone, and the bed undefiled. But God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers. 5#Jos 1:5; Dt 31:6Let your lives be without love of money, and be content with the things you have. For He has said:
“I will never leave you,
nor forsake you.”#Dt 31:6, 8; Jos 1:5.
6#Ps 56:4So we may boldly say:
“The Lord is my helper; I will not fear.
What can man do to me?”#Ps 118:6.
7#Heb 13:17; 6:12; 13:24Remember those who rule over you, who have proclaimed to you the word of God. Follow their faith, considering the results it has produced in their lives. 8#Heb 1:12; Mal 3:6Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
9#Eph 4:14; 2Co 1:21Do not be carried away with diverse and strange doctrines. It is a good thing that the heart be strengthened with grace, not with foods, which have not profited those who have been occupied with them. 10#1Co 9:13We have an altar from which those who serve in the tabernacle have no right to eat.
11#Ex 29:14; Lev 16:27For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest on account of sin, are burned outside the camp. 12#Ac 7:58; Eph 5:26Therefore Jesus also, so that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate. 13#Heb 11:26Therefore let us go forth to Him outside the camp, bearing the reproach that He bore. 14#Heb 12:22; Mic 2:10For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
15#Hos 14:2; Lev 7:12Through Him, then, let us continually offer to God the sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. 16#Ro 12:13; Php 4:18But do not forget to do good and to share. For with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17#Ac 20:28; Heb 13:7Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch over your souls as those who must give an account. Let them do this with joy and not complaining, for that would not be profitable to you.
18#1Th 5:25; Ac 23:1Pray for us. For we trust that we have a good conscience and in all things are willing to live honestly. 19#Phm 1:22But I implore you to pray, that I may be restored to you very soon.
Benediction and Final Greetings
20#Zec 9:11; Jn 10:11Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the Great Shepherd of the sheep, 21#Php 2:13; 2Th 2:17make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
22#1Pe 5:12; Heb 3:1I implore you, brothers, to heed this word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.
23#1Th 3:2Know that our brother Timothy has been set free, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon.
24#Heb 13:7; 13:17Greet all those who rule over you and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.
25#Col 4:18Grace be with you all. Amen.

Service Well-pleasing to God
1Let brotherly love continue. 2#Gen 18.1-8; 19.1-3. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. 3Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. 4Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. 5#Deut 31.6,8; Josh 1.5. Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said,
I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6 #
Ps 118.6. So that we may boldly say,
The Lord is my helper,
and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
7Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end#13.7 end or outcome. of their conversation. 8Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever. 9Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines: for it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. 10We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. 11#Lev 16.27. For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. 12Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. 13Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. 14For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. 15By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to his name. 16But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
18Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. 19But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
Benediction and Final Greetings
20Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21make 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.
22And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words. 23Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you. 24Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you. 25Grace be with you all. Amen.
