Noyes - Hebrews - 13

13:1  Let brotherly love continue.

13:2  Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

13:3  Remember those in bonds, as bound with them; those in distress, as being yourselves also in the body.

13:4  Let marriage be honored in all respects, and the bed be undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

13:5  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;"

13:6  so that we boldly say, "The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear; what shall man do to me?"

13:7  Remember your leaders, who spoke to you the word of God; and considering well the end of their manner of life, imitate their faith.

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

13:9  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.

13:10  We have an altar, of which they cannot eat who serve the tabernacle.

13:11  For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high-priest are burned without the camp.

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

13:13  Let us then go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach;

13:14  for here we have no abiding city, but are seeking that which is to come.

13:15  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.

13:16  But works of kindness and liberality forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

13:17  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.

13:18  Pray for us; for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring in all things to conduct ourselves well;

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

13:20  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,

13:21  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.

13:22  But I beseech you, brethren, bear with the word of my exhortation; for I have written to you in few words.

13:23  Know that the brother Timothy hath been set at liberty, with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

13:24  Salute all your leaders, and all the saints. Those from Italy salute you.

13:25  Grace be with you all. Amen.
