Hebrews 13

²Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

³Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body.Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

⁴Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

⁵Be 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.”Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

⁶So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

⁷Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith.Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.

⁸Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

⁹Don’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.Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

¹⁰We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat.We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.

¹¹For 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.For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.

¹²Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate.Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

¹³Let us therefore go out to him outside of the camp, bearing his reproach.Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

¹⁴For we don’t have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come.For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

¹⁵Through him, then, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance to his name.By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

¹⁶But don’t forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

¹⁷Obey 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.Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

¹⁸Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.

¹⁹I strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you sooner.But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

Amen.Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

²²But I exhort you, brothers, endure the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.

²³Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

²⁴Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. The Italians greet you.Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.
