Hebrews 13

1Let brotherly love continue.● 2Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.● 3Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; {and} them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.● 4Marriage {is} honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.● 5{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 we may boldly say, The Lord {is} my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.● 7Remember 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. {have the rule: or, are the guides}● 8Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.● 9Be 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, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.● 11For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.● 12Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.● 13Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.● 14For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.● 15By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of {our} lips giving thanks to his name. {giving...: Gr. confessing to}● 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 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. {have...: or, guide}● 18Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.● 19But I beseech {you} the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.● 20Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, {covenant: or, testament}● 21Make 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. {working: or, doing}● 22And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.● 23Know ye that {our} brother Timothy is 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. «{Written to the Hebrews from Italy, by Timothy.}»●
