Hebrews 13

¹Let love of the brethren continue. ²Forget not to shew love unto strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. ³Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; them that are evil entreated, as being yourselves also in the body. ⁴Letmarriage behad in honour among all, and letthe bed beundefiled: for fornicators and adulterers God will judge. ⁵Be ye free from the love of money; content with such things as ye have: for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee. ⁶So that with good courage we say, The Lord is my helper; I will not fear: What shall man do unto me? ⁷Remember them that had the rule over you, which spake unto you the word of God; and considering the issue of their life, imitate their faith. ⁸Jesus Christ isthe same yesterday and today, yeaand for ever. ⁹Be not carried away by divers and strange teachings: for it is good that the heart be stablished by grace; not by meats, wherein they that occupied themselves were not profited. ¹⁰We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. ¹¹For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offeringfor sin, are burned without the camp. ¹²Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered without the gate. ¹³Let us therefore go forth unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. ¹⁴For we have not here an abiding city, but we seek after the citywhich is to come. ¹⁵Through him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession 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 to them: for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this wereunprofitable for you. ¹⁸Pray for us: for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honestly in all things. ¹⁹And I exhort youthe more exceedingly to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. ²⁰Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of the eternal covenant, evenour Lord Jesus, ²¹make you perfect in every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom bethe glory for ever and ever. Amen. ²²But I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation: for I have written unto you in few words. ²³Know ye that our brother Timothy hath been 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.
