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.

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
