Hebrews Chapter 13 (NIV)
undefined
Concluding ExhortationsKeep on loving each other as brothers.
undefined
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
undefined
Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
undefined
Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
undefined
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,“Never will I leave you;never will I forsake you.”
undefined
So we say with confidence,“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.What can man do to me?”
undefined
Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.
undefined
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
undefined
Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by ceremonial foods, which are of no value to those who eat them.
undefined
We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle have no right to eat.
undefined
The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp.
undefined
And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood.
undefined
Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.
undefined
For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.
undefined
Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name.
undefined
And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
undefined
Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you.
undefined
Pray for us. We are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.
undefined
I particularly urge you to pray so that I may be restored to you soon.
undefined
May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,
undefined
equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
undefined
Brothers, I urge you to bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written you only a short letter.
undefined
I want you to know that our brother Timothy has been released. If he arrives soon, I will come with him to see you.
undefined
Greet all your leaders and all God’s people. Those from Italy send you their greetings.
undefined
Grace be with you all.
