< Hebrews 13 >

1 Let love for the brethren dwell among you.
Ἡ φιλαδελφία μενέτω.
2 And forget not kindness to strangers; for thereby some have been privileged to entertain angels, unawares.
Τῆς φιλοξενίας μὴ ἐπιλανθάνεσθε, διὰ ταύτης γὰρ, ἔλαθόν τινες ξενίσαντες ἀγγέλους.
3 And remember those in bonds, as if ye were bound with them: and recollect those in affliction, as being yourselves clothed in flesh.
Μιμνῄσκεσθε τῶν δεσμίων, ὡς συνδεδεμένοι, τῶν κακουχουμένων ὡς καὶ αὐτοὶ ὄντες ἐν σώματι.
4 Marriage is honorable in all; and their bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers, God will judge.
Τίμιος ὁ γάμος ἐν πᾶσιν καὶ ἡ κοίτη ἀμίαντος, πόρνους γὰρ καὶ μοιχοὺς κρινεῖ ὁ ˚Θεός.
5 Let not your mind love money; but let what ye have, satisfy you. For the Lord himself hath said, I will never leave thee, nor slacken the hand towards thee.
Ἀφιλάργυρος ὁ τρόπος, ἀρκούμενοι τοῖς παροῦσιν· αὐτὸς γὰρ εἴρηκεν, “Οὐ μή σε ἀνῶ, οὐδʼ οὐ μή σε ἐγκαταλίπω.”
6 And it belongeth to us, to say confidently, My Lord is my aider, I will not fear. What can man do to me?
Ὥστε θαρροῦντας ἡμᾶς λέγειν, “˚Κύριος ἐμοὶ βοηθός, καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσομαι· τί ποιήσει μοι ἄνθρωπος;”
7 Remember your guides, who have spoken to you godly discourse; examine the issue of their course, and imitate their faith.
Μνημονεύετε τῶν ἡγουμένων ὑμῶν, οἵτινες ἐλάλησαν ὑμῖν τὸν λόγον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ὧν ἀναθεωροῦντες τὴν ἔκβασιν τῆς ἀναστροφῆς, μιμεῖσθε τὴν πίστιν.
8 Jesus the Messiah is the same, yesterday, to-day, and for ever. (aiōn g165)
˚Ἰησοῦς ˚Χριστὸς, ἐχθὲς καὶ σήμερον, ὁ αὐτός, καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας. (aiōn g165)
9 Be not led away by strange and variable doctrines. For it is a good thing, that we strengthen our hearts with grace, and not with meats; for those have not been benefited, who walked in them.
Διδαχαῖς ποικίλαις καὶ ξέναις, μὴ παραφέρεσθε· καλὸν γὰρ χάριτι βεβαιοῦσθαι τὴν καρδίαν, οὐ βρώμασιν, ἐν οἷς οὐκ ὠφελήθησαν οἱ περιπατοῦντες.
10 And we have an altar, of which they who minister in the tabernacle have no right to eat.
Ἔχομεν θυσιαστήριον, ἐξ οὗ φαγεῖν οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἐξουσίαν, οἱ τῇ σκηνῇ λατρεύοντες.
11 For the flesh of those animals, whose blood the high priest brought into the sanctuary for sins, was burned without the camp.
Ὧν γὰρ εἰσφέρεται ζῴων τὸ αἷμα περὶ ἁμαρτίας εἰς τὰ ἅγια διὰ τοῦ ἀρχιερέως, τούτων τὰ σώματα κατακαίεται ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς.
12 For this reason, Jesus also, that he might sanctify his people with his blood, suffered without the city.
Διὸ καὶ ˚Ἰησοῦς, ἵνα ἁγιάσῃ διὰ τοῦ ἰδίου αἵματος τὸν λαόν, ἔξω τῆς πύλης ἔπαθεν.
13 Therefore, let us also go forth to him, without the camp, clothed with his reproach:
Τοίνυν ἐξερχώμεθα πρὸς αὐτὸν ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς, τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτοῦ φέροντες.
14 (for we have here no abiding city; but we expect one that is future: )
Οὐ γὰρ ἔχομεν ὧδε μένουσαν πόλιν, ἀλλὰ τὴν μέλλουσαν ἐπιζητοῦμεν.
15 and through him, let us at all times offer to God the sacrifices of praise, that is, the fruits of lips which give thanks to his name.
Διʼ αὐτοῦ οὖν ἀναφέρωμεν θυσίαν αἰνέσεως διὰ παντὸς τῷ ˚Θεῷ, τοῦτʼ ἔστιν καρπὸν χειλέων ὁμολογούντων τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ.
16 And forget not commiseration and communication with the poor; for with such sacrifices a man pleaseth God.
Τῆς δὲ εὐποιΐας καὶ κοινωνίας μὴ ἐπιλανθάνεσθε, τοιαύταις γὰρ θυσίαις εὐαρεστεῖται ὁ ˚Θεός.
17 Confide in your guides, and hearken to them; for they watch for your souls, as men who must give an account of you, that they may do this with joy and not with anguish; for that would not be profitable to you.
Πείθεσθε τοῖς ἡγουμένοις ὑμῶν, καὶ ὑπείκετε, αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἀγρυπνοῦσιν ὑπὲρ τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν, ὡς λόγον ἀποδώσοντες, ἵνα μετὰ χαρᾶς τοῦτο ποιῶσιν, καὶ μὴ στενάζοντες, ἀλυσιτελὲς γὰρ ὑμῖν τοῦτο.
18 Pray ye for us; for we trust we have a good consciousness, that in all things we desire to conduct ourselves well.
Προσεύχεσθε περὶ ἡμῶν, πειθόμεθα γὰρ ὅτι καλὴν συνείδησιν ἔχομεν, ἐν πᾶσιν καλῶς θέλοντες ἀναστρέφεσθαι.
19 Especially do I request you to do this, that I may return to you speedily.
Περισσοτέρως δὲ παρακαλῶ τοῦτο ποιῆσαι, ἵνα τάχιον ἀποκατασταθῶ ὑμῖν.
20 May the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the flock, by the blood of the everlasting covenant, namely Jesus the Messiah, our Lord, (aiōnios g166)
Ὁ δὲ ˚Θεὸς τῆς εἰρήνης, ὁ ἀναγαγὼν ἐκ νεκρῶν τὸν Ποιμένα τῶν προβάτων τὸν μέγαν, ἐν αἵματι διαθήκης αἰωνίου, τὸν ˚Κύριον ἡμῶν, ˚Ἰησοῦν, (aiōnios g166)
21 make you perfect in every good work, that ye may do his pleasure; and himself operate in you that which is pleasing In his sight, through Jesus the Messiah; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
καταρτίσαι ὑμᾶς ἐν παντὶ ἀγαθῷ, εἰς τὸ ποιῆσαι τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ, ποιῶν ἐν ἡμῖν τὸ εὐάρεστον ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, διὰ ˚Ἰησοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ, ᾧ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀμήν! (aiōn g165)
22 And I beseech you, my brethren, that ye be patient under this word of exhortation; for it is in few words I have written to you.
Παρακαλῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, ἀνέχεσθε τοῦ λόγου τῆς παρακλήσεως, καὶ γὰρ διὰ βραχέων ἐπέστειλα ὑμῖν.
23 And know ye, that our brother Timothy is set at liberty: and if he come soon, I, with him, shall see you.
Γινώσκετε τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν, Τιμόθεον, ἀπολελυμένον, μεθʼ οὗ ἐὰν τάχιον ἔρχηται, ὄψομαι ὑμᾶς.
24 Salute all your guides, and all the saints. All they of Italy salute you.
Ἀσπάσασθε πάντας τοὺς ἡγουμένους ὑμῶν, καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἁγίους. Ἀσπάζονται ὑμᾶς οἱ ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰταλίας.
25 Grace be with you all. Amen.
Ἡ χάρις μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν. ἀμήν!
