Worsley - Hebrews - 13

13:1  Let brotherly love continue.

13:2  Be not forgetful of hospitality; for thereby some have entertained angels, not knowing it.

13:3  Remember those that are in bonds, as if bound with them: and those that suffer evil as being yourselves also in the body.

13:4  Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is not defiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

13:5  Let your conversation be free from covetousness, and be contented with what ye have: for He hath said, I will not leave thee; I will never, never forsake thee.

13:6  So that we may say with courage, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

13:7  Remember your guides, who spake the word of God to you; whose faith imitate, considering the happy end of their conversation.

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

13:9  be not then carried about by various and strange doctrines; for it is good that the heart be established by grace, and not in meats, in which those that have been most exact, have not profited by them.

13:10  We have an altar, of which those who perform service in the tabernacle have no right to eat.

13:11  As the bodies of those animals, whose blood being offered for sin is brought into the holy place by the high-priest, are not eaten, but are burnt 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 out unto Him without the camp, bearing his reproach: for we have here no continuing city,

13:14  but are seeking that which is to come.

13:15  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.

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

13:17  Be ruled by those that are your guides, and submit to them: for they watch for your souls; (as those that must give an account) that they may do it with joy and not with uneasiness: for this were unprofitable for you.

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

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

13:20  Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the everlasting covenant,

13:21  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.

13:22  I beseech you, brethren, bear with this word of exhortation: as I have written to you in brief.

13:23  Know that our brother Timothy is set at liberty, with whom (if he come soon) I will see you.

13:24  Salute all that preside over you, yea and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.

13:25  Grace be with you all. Amen.
