Chapter 13

  Let brotherly love continue.  

-

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

-

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

-

  Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but lewd persons and adulterers God will judge.  

-

  Let your manner of life 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 to me.  

-

  Remember them who have the rule over you, who have spoken to you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their manner of life.  

-

  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 in them.  

-

  We have an altar, of which they have no right to eat who 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 to him without the camp, bearing his reproach.  

-

  For here we have 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 well-pleasing 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 to 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.
