Hebrews 13
13
1Let ahavat achim (brotherly love) continue.
2Do not neglect hachnosas orchim (hospitality), for by this some without having da'as of it, have entertained malachim.
3Have zikaron of the prisoners in the beis hasohar, as if having been bound with sharsherot (chains) with them; and those being tortured as though you were also.
4Let the marriage Chuppah have respect in the eyes of all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for those guilty of gilui arayot (sexual immorality) and no'afim (adulterers), Hashem will judge.
5Fier zich (comport oneself) in your derech free of chamdanut (covetousness), being content with what you have, for He Himself has said, LO ARPECHA V'LO E'EZVECHA#13:5 Dt 31:6,8; Josh 1:5 (I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you),
6So that we say with bitachon, HASHEM LI my helper, LO IRA MAH YA'ASEH LI ADAM?#13:6 Ps 118:6 (The L-rd is my helper, I will not be afraid. What shall man do to me?)
7Remember your manhigim and be machshiv (respect) and mechabed (honor) those who spoke to you the dvar Hashem; and considering the toitzaa (outcome) of their derech, imitate their Emunah.
8Yehoshua — Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, the same etmol, hayom, ul'Olamim.
9Do not be carried away by various torot zarot; for it is tov for the lev to be given chizzuk by the Chen v'Chesed Hashem, not by okhel through which those who were thus occupied were not benefited.
10We have a Mizbe'ach from which those who serve the Mishkan have no right to eat.
11For the zevakhim whose dahm is brought into the Kodesh HaKodashim by the Kohen Gadol as a Kapparat HaChet are burned outside the makhaneh (camp).
12Therefore, Yehoshua also, that he might make the Am Brit kedoshim through his own dahm, suffered outside the sha'ar.
13So then, let us go out to him outside the makhaneh, bearing the reproach of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
14For we do not have here a lasting Ir HaKodesh, but we seek one to come.
15By him, therefore, let us offer up a zevach todah to Hashem continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving hoda'ah (confession) to SHMO (HIS NAME).#13:15 Zech 6:11-12; 3:8
16But do not drift away from ma'asim tovim and sharing; for with such zevakhim Hashem is well pleased.
17Obey your manhigim and submit to them; for they are being shomer over your neshamot, as those who have achraius (answerability, accountability) [to Hashem]. Let them do so with simcha and not with agmat nefesh, for that would not be profitable for you.
18Daven tefillos for us, for we are persuaded that we have a clear matzpun (conscience) in everything, wishing to conduct ourselves commendably in all things.
19And I urge you all the more to do this, that I may be restored to you more quickly.
20Now the Elohei Hashalom, who brought up in the Techiyas HaMoshiach, HaRo'eh HaTzon HaGadol, through the Dahm Brit Olam, even Adoneinu,
21May He equip you with every ma'aseh tov in order to do His ratzon, working in us that which is well pleasing in His sight through Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, to whom be kavod l'Olemei Olamim. Omein.
22Now I urge you, Achim b'Moshiach, bear with this dvar hachizzuk, for indeed an iggeret I have written you bekitzur (briefly, concisely).
23Have da'as that our Ach b'Moshiach Timotiyos has been released, with whom if he comes shortly, I will see you.
24Shalom greetings to all your manhigim and all the kedoshim. The ones from Italy send shalom greetings to you.
25Chen v'Chesed Hashem be with all of you.

Hebrews 13

Final Exhortations
1Let brotherly love#Rm 12:10; 1Pt 1:22 continue. 2Don’t neglect to show hospitality, for by doing this some have welcomed angels as guests without knowing it.#Gn 18:3; Mt 25:35 3Remember those in prison, as though you were in prison with them, and the mistreated,#13:3 Or tortured as though you yourselves were suffering bodily.#13:3 Or mistreated, since you are also in a body 4Marriage is to be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, because God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.#Mt 25:36; 1Co 6:9 5Keep your life free from the love of money. Be satisfied with what you have, for he himself has said, I will never leave you or abandon you.#13:5Dt 31:6#Dt 31:6,8; Jos 1:5; Php 4:11 6Therefore, we may boldly say,
The Lord is my helper;
I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me? # 13:6 Ps 118:6 #
Ps 27:1; 56:4,11; 118:6; Rm 8:31
7Remember your leaders who have spoken God’s word to you. As you carefully observe the outcome of their lives, imitate their faith.#Heb 6:12; 13:17,24 8Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.#Jn 8:58; Heb 1:12 9Don’t be led astray by various kinds of strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be established by grace and not by food regulations, since those who observe them have not benefited.#Eph 4:14; Col 2:16 10We have an altar from which those who worship at the tabernacle do not have a right to eat.#1Co 9:13; 10:18 11For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the most holy place by the high priest#1Co 9:13; 10:18 as a sin offering are burned outside the camp.#Ex 29:14; Lv 16:27 12Therefore, Jesus also suffered outside the gate,#Jn 19:17; Ac 7:58 so that he might sanctify#13:12 Or set apart, or consecrate the people by his own blood. 13Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing his disgrace.#Heb 11:26; 1Pt 4:14 14For we do not have an enduring city here; instead, we seek the one to come.#Mc 3:10; Heb 12:22 15Therefore, through him let us continually offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name.#Lv 7:12; Hs 14:2; Eph 5:20 16Don’t neglect to do what is good and to share, for God is pleased with such sacrifices.#Rm 12:13; Php 4:18 17Obey your leaders#13:17 Or rulers and submit to them, since they keep watch#Is 62:6; Ezk 3:17; Ac 20:28 over your souls as those who will give an account, so that they can do this with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you. 18Pray for us, for we are convinced that we have a clear conscience, wanting to conduct ourselves honorably in everything.#Ac 23:1; 1Th 5:25 19And I urge you all the more to pray#13:19 Lit to do this that I may be restored to you very soon.
Benediction and Farewell
20Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus — the great Shepherd of the sheep#Jn 10:11; Ac 2:24; Rm 15:33 — through the blood of the everlasting covenant,#Zch 9:11; Heb 7:22; 8:6–10; 9:15; 12:24 21equip#13:21 Or perfect you with everything good to do his will, working in us what is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever.#13:21 Other mss omit and ever#Rm 11:36; Php 2:13; 1Pt 5:10 Amen.
22Brothers and sisters, I urge you to receive this message of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly. 23Be aware that our brother Timothy has been released. If he comes soon enough, he will be with me when I see you. 24Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those who are from Italy send you greetings. 25Grace be with you all.#Ac 16:1; Col 4:18; 1Th 3:2; Heb 13:7,17; 1Pt 5:12
