Hebrews 13
13
1 May fraternal charity remain in you.
2 And do not be willing to forget hospitality. For by it, certain persons, without realizing it, have received Angels as guests.
3 Remember those who are prisoners, just as if you were imprisoned with them, and those who endure hardships, just as if you were in their place.
4 May marriage be honorable in every way, and may the marriage bed be immaculate. For God will judge fornicators and adulterers.
5 Let your behavior be without avarice; be content with what you are offered. For he himself has said, "I will not abandon you, and I will not neglect you."
6 So then, we may confidently say, "The Lord is my helper. I will not fear what man can do to me."
7 Remember your leaders, who have spoken the Word of God to you, whose faith you imitate, by observing the goal of their way of life:
8 Jesus Christ, yesterday and today; Jesus Christ forever.
9 Do not be led away by changing or strange doctrines. And it is best for the heart to be sustained by grace, not by foods. For the latter have not been as useful to those who walked by them.
10 We have an altar: those who serve in the tabernacle have no authority to eat from it.
11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is carried into the Holy of holies by the high priest, on behalf of sin, are burned outside the camp.
12 Because of this, Jesus, too, in order to sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered outside the gate.
13 And so, let us go forth to him, outside the camp, bearing his reproach.
14 For in this place, we have no everlasting city; instead, we seek one in the future.
15 Therefore, through him, let us offer the sacrifice of continual praise to God, which is the fruit of lips confessing his name.
16 But do not be willing to forget good works and fellowship. For God is deserving of such sacrifices.
17 Obey your leaders and be subject to them. For they watch over you, as if to render an account of your souls. So then, may they do this with joy, and not with grief. Otherwise, it would not be as helpful to you.
18 Pray for us. For we trust that we have a good conscience, being willing to conduct ourselves well in all things.
19 And I beg you, all the more, to do this, so that I may be quickly returned to you.
20 Then may the God of peace, who led back from the dead that great Pastor of sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ, with the blood of the eternal testament,
21 equip you with all goodness, so that you may do his will. May he accomplish in you whatever is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is glory forever and ever. Amen.
22 And I beg you, brothers, that you may permit this word of consolation, especially since I have written to you with few words.
23 Know that our brother Timothy has been set free. If he arrives soon, then I will see you with him.
24 Greet all your leaders and all the saints. The brothers from Italy greet you.
25 Grace be with you all. Amen.

Hebrews 13
13
1Let brotherly love abide. 2Be not forgetful of hospitality; for by it some have unawares entertained angels. 3Remember prisoners, as bound with them; those that are evil-treated, as being yourselves also in the body. 4Let marriage be held every way in honour, and the bed be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers will God judge. 5Let your conversation be without love of money, satisfied with your present circumstances; for he has said, I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee. 6So that, taking courage, we may say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not be afraid: what will man do unto me? 7Remember your leaders who have spoken to you the word of God; and considering the issue of their conversation, imitate their faith. 8Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and to-day, and to the ages to come. 9Be not carried away with various and strange doctrines; for it is good that the heart be confirmed with grace, not meats; those who have walked in which have not been profited by them. 10We have an altar of which they have no right to eat who serve the tabernacle; 11for of those beasts whose blood is carried as sacrifices for sin into the holy of holies by the high priest, of these the bodies are burned outside the camp. 12Wherefore also Jesus, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate: 13therefore let us go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach: 14for we have not here an abiding city, but we seek the coming one. 15By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise continually to God, that is, the fruit of the lips confessing his name. 16But of doing good and communicating of your substance be not forgetful, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 17Obey your leaders, and be submissive; for they watch over your souls as those that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not groaning, for this would be unprofitable for you.
18Pray for us: for we persuade ourselves that we have a good conscience, in all things desirous to walk rightly. 19But I much more beseech you to do this, that I may the more quickly be restored to you. 20But the God of peace, who brought again from among the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, in the power of the blood of the eternal covenant, 21perfect you in every good work to the doing of his will, doing in you what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for the ages of ages. Amen. 22But I beseech you, brethren, bear the word of exhortation, for it is but in few words that I have written to you. 23Know that our brother Timotheus is set at liberty; with whom, if he should come soon, I will see you. 24Salute all your leaders, and all the saints. They from Italy salute you. 25Grace be with you all. Amen.
