The Letter to the Hebrews, Chapter 13
{13:1} Let brotherly love continue. {13:2} Don't forget to show
hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained
angels without knowing it. {13:3} Remember those who are in bonds, as
bound with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in
the body. {13:4} Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the
bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and
adulterers.
{13:5} Be free from the love of money, content with such things as
you have, for he has said, "I will in no way leave you, neither will I
in any way forsake you."[1] {13:6} So that with good courage we say,
"The Lord is my helper. I will not fear.
What can man do to me?"[2]
{13:7} Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God,
and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith.
{13:8} Yeshua the Messiah is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
{13:9} Don't be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it
is good that the heart be established by grace, not by food, through
which those who were so occupied were not benefited.
{13:10} We have an altar from which those who serve the holy
tabernacle have no right to eat. {13:11} For the bodies of those
animals, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest
as an offering for sin, are burned outside of the camp.[3] {13:12}
Therefore Yeshua also, that he might sanctify the people through his
own blood, suffered outside of the gate. {13:13} Let us therefore go
out to him outside of the camp, bearing his reproach. {13:14} For we
don't have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come.
{13:15} Through him, then, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to
God[4] continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim
allegiance to his name. {13:16} But don't forget to be doing good and
sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
{13:17} Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on
behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do
this with joy, and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable
for you.
{13:18} Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good
conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things. {13:19} I
strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you sooner.
{13:20} Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead
the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant,
our Lord Yeshua, {13:21} make you complete in every good work to do
his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight,
through Yeshua the Messiah, to whom be the glory forever and ever.
Amen.
{13:22} But I exhort you, brothers, endure the word of exhortation,
for I have written to you in few words. {13:23} Know that our brother
Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see
you. {13:24} Greet all of your leaders and all the holy ones. The
Italians greet you. {13:25} Grace be with you all. Amen.
