Hebrews 13
1 Let brotherly love continue.
Let brotherly love continue.
2 Of the entertaining of strangers, be not forgetful, for, hereby, unawares, have some entertained, messengers.
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
3 Bear in mind them who are in bonds, as having become jointly bound, —them who are suffering ill-treatment, as being yourselves also in the body.
Remember those in bonds, as bound with them; those in distress, as being yourselves also in the body.
4 Let marriage be honourable in all, and the bed undefiled, for, fornicators and adulterers, God, will judge.
Let marriage be honored in all respects, and the bed be undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
5 Without fondness for money, be your way of life, —being content with the present things, —for, he, hath said: In nowise, thee, will I leave, no indeed! in nowise, thee, will I forsake:
Let your disposition be without covetousness, and be content with what ye have; for he hath said, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee;”
6 So that, taking courage, we may be saying—The Lord, hasteth to my cry, —I will not be put in fear: what shall, man, do unto me?
so that we boldly say, “The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear; what shall man do to me?”
7 Be mindful of them who are guiding you, who, indeed, have spoken unto you, the word of God: the outgoing of whose behaviour, reviewing, be imitating, their faith.
Remember your leaders, who spoke to you the word of God; and considering well the end of their manner of life, imitate their faith.
Jesus Christ is yesterday and to-day the same, and for ever. (aiōn g165)
9 With teachings, manifold and strange, be not carried aside; for it is, noble, that, with gratitude, should, the heart, be getting confirmed, —not with matters of food, in which, they who are walking, have not been profited.
Be not carried aside with various and strange teachings; for it is good that the heart be established with grace, not with meats, in which those who walked were not profited.
10 We have an altar—to eat out of which, they, have no right, who in the tent are doing divine service;
We have an altar, of which they cannot eat who serve the tabernacle.
11 For, in the case of those living creatures, whose blood for sins is carried into the holy place, through means of the high-priest, the bodies of these, are burned up, outside the camp.
For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high-priest are burned without the camp.
12 Wherefore, Jesus also, that he might hallow the people through means of his own blood, outside the gate, suffered:
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 Now, therefore, let us be going forth unto him, outside the camp, his reproach bearing.
Let us then go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach;
14 For we have not here an abiding city, but, unto that which is to be, are we seeking our way.
for here we have no abiding city, but are seeking that which is to come.
15 Through him, let us be offering up a sacrifice of praise, continually, unto God; that is, a fruit of lips confessing unto his name.
Through him therefore let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips giving thanks to his name.
16 But, of the doing good and of fellowship, be not forgetful; for, with such sacrifices as these, is, God, well-pleased.
But works of kindness and liberality forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17 Be yielding unto them who are guiding you, and submit yourselves; for they are watching over your souls, as having an account to render, that, with joy the same they may be doing, and not with sighing, —for, unprofitable unto you, were, this.
Obey your leaders, and submit yourselves to them; for they keep watch in behalf of your souls, as those who must give an account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief; for this is not for your advantage.
18 Be praying for us; for we persuade ourselves that an honourable conscience have we, in all things honourably, desiring to behave ourselves.
Pray for us; for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring in all things to conduct ourselves well;
19 But, much more abundantly, do I exhort you the same to do, that, more speedily, I may be restored, unto you.
but I the more earnestly entreat you to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20 But, the God of peace, He that led up from among the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep, with the blood of an age-abiding covenant, —our Lord Jesus, (aiōnios g166)
Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of an everlasting covenant, even our Lord Jesus, (aiōnios g166)
21 Fit you, by every good work, for the doing of his will, doing within us, that which is well-pleasing, before him through Jesus Christ: to whom be the glory, unto the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
make you perfect in every good work, to do his will, doing in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be the glory for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 Now I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation, —for, even with brief [words], have I sent unto you.
But I beseech you, brethren, bear with the word of my exhortation; for I have written to you in few words.
23 Know ye that our brother Timothy hath been set at liberty, —with whom, if more speedily he be coming, I will see you.
Know that the brother Timothy hath been set at liberty, with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.
24 Salute all them who are guiding you, and all the saints: they from Italy, salute you.
Salute all your leaders, and all the saints. Those from Italy salute you.
25 Favour be with you all.
Grace be with you all. Amen.
