Hebrews 13

1Let brotherly love continue.

1Let the charity of the brotherhood abide in you.

1Let brotherly love remain;

1Go on loving your brothers in the faith.

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

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

2of the hospitality be not forgetful, for through this unawares certain did entertain messengers;

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 bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

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

3be mindful of those in bonds, as having been bound with them, of those maltreated, as also yourselves being 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 is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

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

4honourable <FI>is<Fi> the marriage in all, and the bed undefiled, and whoremongers and adulterers God shall 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 conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

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.

5Without covetousness the behaviour, being content with the things present, for He hath said, `No, I will not leave, no, nor 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 boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

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

6so that we do boldly say, `The Lord <FI>is<Fi> to me a helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to 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 them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.

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

7Be mindful of those leading you, who did speak to you the word of God, whose faith--considering the issue of the behaviour--be imitating,

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 the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

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

8Jesus Christ yesterday and to-day the same, and to the ages;

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

9Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

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.

9with teachings manifold and strange be not carried about, for <FI>it is<Fi> good that by grace the heart be confirmed, not with meats, in which they who were occupied 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 right to eat which serve the tabernacle.

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

10we have an altar, of which to eat they have no authority who the tabernacle are serving,

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 sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.

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 of those beasts whose blood is brought for sin into the holy places through the chief priest--of these the bodies 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 with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

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

12Wherefore, also Jesus--that he might sanctify through <FI>his<Fi> own blood the people--without the gate did suffer;

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 unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

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

13now, then, may we go forth unto him without the camp, his reproach bearing;

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

14For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

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 the coming one we seek;

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 to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

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, we may offer up a sacrifice of praise always to God, that is, the fruit of lips, giving thanks 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.

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

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

16and of doing good, and of fellowship, be not forgetful, 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 them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

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.

17Be obedient to those leading you, and be subject, for these do watch for your souls, as about to give account, that with joy they may do this, and not sighing, for this <FI>is<Fi> unprofitable to 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, in all things willing to live honestly.

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 trust that we have a good conscience, in all things willing to behave well,

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.

19But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

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

19and more abundantly do I call upon <FI>you<Fi> to do this, that more quickly I may be restored to you.

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

20Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

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,

20And the God of the peace, who did bring up out of the dead the great shepherd of the sheep--in the blood of an age-during covenant--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,

21Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

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 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, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.

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

22And I entreat you, brethren, suffer the word of the exhortation, for also through few words I have written to you.

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 the brother Timotheus is released, with whom, if he may come more shortly, I will see you.
