Hebrews 13

1Let the charity of the brotherhood abide in you.

1Let love of the brethren continue.

1Go on loving your brothers in the faith.

2And hospitality do not forget: for by this some, being not aware of it, have entertained angels.

2Forget not to show love unto strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

2Take care to keep open house: because in this way some have had angels as their guests, without being conscious of it.

3Remember them that are in bands, as if you were bound with them: and them that labour, as being yourselves also in the body.

3Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; them that are ill-treated, as being yourselves also in the body.

3Keep in mind those who are in chains, as if you were chained with them, and those who are in trouble, as being yourselves in the body.

4Marriage honourable in all, and the bed undefiled. For fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

4Let marriage be had in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

4Let married life be honoured among all of you and not made unclean; for men untrue in married life will be judged by God.

5Let your manners be without covetousness, contented with such things as you have. For he hath said: I will not leave thee: neither will I forsake thee.

5Be ye free from the love of money; content with such things as ye have: for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee.

5Be free from the love of money and pleased with the things which you have; for he himself has said, I will be with you at all times.

6So that we may confidently say: The Lord is my helper: I will not fear what man shall do to me.

6So that with good courage we say, The Lord is my helper; I will not fear: What shall man do unto me?

6So that we say with a good heart, The Lord is my helper; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?

7Remember your prelates who have spoken the word of God to you: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation,

7Remember them that had the rule over you, men that spake unto you the word of God; and considering the issue of their life, imitate their faith.

7Keep in mind those who were over you, and who gave you the word of God; seeing the outcome of their way of life, let your faith be like theirs.

8Jesus Christ, yesterday, and today: and the same for ever.

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

8Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever.

9Be not led away with various and strange doctrines. For it is best that the heart be established with grace, not with meats: which have not profited those that walk in them.

9Be not carried away by divers and strange teachings: for it is good that the heart be established by grace; not by meats, wherein they that occupied themselves were not profited.

9Do not be turned away by different strange teachings, because it is good for your hearts to be made strong by grace, and not by meats, which were of no profit to those who took so much trouble over them.

10We have an altar whereof they have no power to eat who serve the tabernacle.

10We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat that serve the tabernacle.

10We have an altar from which those priests who are servants in the Tent may not take food.

11For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holies by the high priest for sin are burned without the camp.

11For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned without the camp.

11For the bodies of the beasts whose blood is taken into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin are burned outside the circle of the tents.

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

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

12For this reason Jesus was put to death outside the walls, so that he might make the people holy by his blood.

13Let us go forth therefore to him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

13Let us therefore go forth unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

13Let us then go out to him outside the circle of the tents, taking his shame on ourselves.

14For, we have not here a lasting city: but we seek one that is to come.

14For we have not here an abiding city, but we seek after the city which is to come.

14For here we have no fixed resting-place, but our search is for the one which is to come.

15By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise always to God, that is to say, the fruit of lips confessing to his name.

15Through him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to his name.

15Let us then make offerings of praise to God at all times through him, that is to say, the fruit of lips giving witness to his name.

16And do not forget to do good and to impart: for by such sacrifices God's favour is obtained.

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

16But go on doing good and giving to others, because God is well-pleased with such offerings.

17Obey your prelates and be subject to them. For they watch as being to render an account of your souls: that they may do this with joy and not with grief. For this is not expedient for you.

17Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit to them: for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this were unprofitable for you.

17Give ear to those who are rulers over you, and do as they say: for they keep watch over your souls, ready to give an account of them; let them be able to do this with joy and not with grief, because that would be of no profit to you.

18Pray for us. For we trust we have a good conscience, being willing to behave ourselves well in all things.

18Pray for us: for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.

18Make prayers for us, for we are certain that our hearts are free from the sense of sin, desiring the right way of life in all things.

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

19And I exhortyouthe more exceedingly to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

19I make this request more strongly, in the hope of coming back to you more quickly.

20And may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great pastor of the sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the blood of the everlasting testament,

20Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, even our Lord Jesus,

20Now may the God of peace, who made that great keeper of his flock, even our Lord Jesus, come back from the dead through the blood of the eternal agreement,

21Fit you in all goodness, that you may do his will; doing in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen.

21make you perfect in every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

21Make you full of every good work and ready to do all his desires, working in us whatever is pleasing in his eyes through Jesus Christ; and may the glory be given to him for ever and ever. So be it.

22And I beseech you, brethren, that you suffer this word of consolation. For I have written to you in a few words.

22But I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation: for I have written unto you in few words.

22But, brothers, take kindly the words which I have said for your profit; for I have not sent you a long letter.

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

23Know ye that our brother Timothy hath been set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

23Our brother Timothy has been let out of prison; and if he comes here in a short time, he and I will come to you together.

24Salute all your prelates and all the saints. The brethren from Italy salute you.

24Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.

24Give words of love from me to those who are rulers over you, and to all the saints. Those who are in Italy send you their love.

25Grace be with you all. Amen.

25Grace be with you all. Amen.

25May grace be with you all.
