Hebrews

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