CHAPTER 13

Continue

in brotherly love.

Do not

neglect

to show hospitality to strangers,

for

by so doing

some people

have entertained

angels

without knowing it.

Remember

those

in prison

as if

you were bound with them,

and those who

are mistreated

as if

you

were

suffering with them.

Marriage

should be honored

by

all

and

the

marriage bed

kept undefiled,

for

God

will judge

the sexually immoral

and

adulterers.

Keep your lives

free from the love of money

and be content

with what

you have,

for

God

has said:

“Never

will I leave

you,

never

will I forsake

you.”

So

we

say

with confidence:

“The Lord is

my

helper;

I will not be afraid.

What

can man

do

to me?”

Remember

your

leaders

who

spoke

the

word

of God

to you.

Consider

the

outcome

of their

way of life

and imitate

their

faith.

Jesus

Christ

is the

same

yesterday

and

today

and

forever.

Do not

be carried away by

all kinds

of strange

teachings,

for

it is good

for the

heart

to be strengthened

by grace

and not

by ceremonial foods,

which

are of no value

to those

devoted

to them.

We have

an altar

from

which

those who

serve

at the

tabernacle

have

no

right

to eat.

Although

the

high priest

brings

the

blood

of animals

into

the

Holy Place

as a sacrifice for

sin,

the

bodies

are burned

outside

the

camp.

And

that is why

Jesus

suffered

outside

the

city gate,

to

sanctify

the

people

by

His

own

blood.

Therefore

let us go

to

Him

outside

the

camp,

bearing

the

disgrace

He bore.

For

here

we do not have

a permanent

city,

but

we are looking for

the

city that is to come.

Through

Jesus,

therefore,

let us continually offer

to

God

a sacrifice

of praise,

the fruit

of lips

that confess

His

name.

And

do not

neglect

to do good

and

to share with others,

for

with such

sacrifices

God

is pleased.

Obey

your

leaders

and

submit to them,

for

they

watch

over

your

souls

as

those who must give

an account.

To this end,

allow them

to lead

with

joy

and

not

with grief,

for

that

would be of no advantage

to you.

Pray

for

us;

we are convinced

that

we have

a clear

conscience

and desire

to live

honorably

in

every way.

And

I especially urge

you to pray

that

I may be restored

to you

soon.

Now may

the

God

of peace,

who

through

the blood

of the eternal

covenant

brought

back from

the dead

our

Lord

Jesus,

the

great

Shepherd

of the

sheep,

equip

you

with

every

good thing

to

do

His

will.

And may He accomplish

in

us

what is

pleasing

in His sight

through

Jesus

Christ,

to whom be

glory

forever

and

ever.

Amen.

I urge

you,

brothers,

to bear with

my

word

of exhortation,

for

I have only written

you

briefly.

Be aware that

our

brother

Timothy

has been released.

If

he arrives

soon,

I will come

with

him to see

you.

Greet

all

your

leaders

and

all

the

saints.

Those

from

Italy

send you greetings.

Grace be

with

all

of you.
