Hebrews 13
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
1 Let brotherly love continue. 2 Be not forgetful
to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. 3 Remember
them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer
adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. 4 Marriage 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. 6 So that we may
boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do
unto me. 7 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. 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for
ever. 9 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. 10 We
have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. 11 For
the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the
high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. 12 Wherefore Jesus
also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the
gate. 13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing
his reproach. 14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one
to come. 15 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. 16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such
sacrifices God is well pleased. 17 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.
18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in
all things willing to live honestly. 19 But I beseech you the
rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. 20 Now
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, 21 Make
you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for
ever and ever. Amen. 22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word
of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words. 23 Know
ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come
shortly, I will see you. 24 Salute all them that have the rule over
you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you. 25 Grace be
with you all. Amen.
