LO - Hebrews - 13

13:1  Let brotherly love continue.

13:2  Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for, by so doing, some have entertained angels, without knowing them.

13:3  Remember them who are in bonds, as fellow-prisoners; and them who suffer evil, as being yourselves also in the body.

13:4  Let marriage be honorable among all, and the bed unpolluted; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

13:5  Let your behavior be without the love of money, being contented with the things you have; for himself has said, "I will never leave you, not will I at all utterly forsake you."

13:6  So that taking courage, we may say, "The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man can do to men."

13:7  Remember your rulers, who have spoken to you the word of God: observing carefully the issue of their conduct, imitate their faith.

13:8  Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, and to-day, and for ever.

13:9  Be not tossed about with various and foreign doctrines; for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by meats, by which they have not profited, who have been taken up with them.

13:10  We have an altar of which they have no right to eat, who serve in the tabernacle.

13:11  Moreover, the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought by the high priest into the most holy place, a sin-offering, are burnt without the camp:

13:12  wherefore Jesus, also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

13:13  Well, then, let us go forth to him out of the camp, nearing his reproach.

13:14  For we have not here an abiding city, but we earnestly seek one to come.

13:15  Through him, therefore, let us offer up continually, the sacrifice of praise to God; namely, the fruit of our lips, confessing to his name.

13:16  But to do good, and to communicate, forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

13:17  Obey your rulers, and submit yourselves; for they watch for your souls, as those who must give account: --that they may do this with joy, and not with mourning; for that would be unprofitable for you.

13:18  Pray for us; for we are confident that we have a good conscience, willing in all things to behave well.

13:19  And, I the more earnestly beseech you to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

13:20  Now may the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting institution,

13:21  make you fit for every good work, to do his will, producing in you what is acceptable in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom we the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

13:22  Now I beseech you, brethren, suffer this word of exhortation, for indeed I have sent it to you in brief.

13:23  Know that our brother Timothy is sent away, with whom, if he come soon, I will see you.

13:24  Salute all your rulers, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.

13:25  Favor be with you all. Amen.
