Chapter 13

  Let brotherly love continue.  

-

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

-

  Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; [and] them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.  

-

  Marriage [is] honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.  

-

  [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.  

-

  So that we may boldly say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.  

-

  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.  

-

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

-

  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.  

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

  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.  

-

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

-

  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.  

-

  Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.  

-

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

-

  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,  

-

  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.  

-

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

-

  Know ye that [our] brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.  

-

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

-

  Grace [be] with you all. Amen. [Written to the Hebrews from Italy, by Timothy.]
