Let brotherly love continue (13:1) Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares (13:2) Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; [and] them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body (13:3) Marriage [is] honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge (13:4) [Let 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 (13:5) So that we may boldly say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me (13:6) Remember 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 (13:7) Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. (13:8) 42 Be 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. (13:9) com2 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle (13:10) For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp (13:11) Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. (13:12) com3 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach (13:13) For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come (13:14) 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 (13:15) But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased (13:16) Obey 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 (13:17) Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly (13:18) But I beseech [you] the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner (13:19) Now 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, (13:20) Make 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 (13:21) And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words (13:22) Know ye that [our] brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you (13:23) Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you (13:24) Grace [be] with you all. Amen
(13:25)
