1LET brotherly love continue. 2Do not forget hospitality: for by this some have, without knowing it, had angels as their guests. 3Keep in mind the prisoners, as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are suffering hardships, since you yourselves are also in the body. 4Let marriage be held in honor by all and let the bed be undefiled; for unchaste persons and adulterers God will judge. 5Let your lives be free from the love of money. Be content with what you have. For he has said, "I will not fail you nor will I forsake you." 6So we may say with courage, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" 7Remember your leaders, those who have spoken to you God's message, think how they ended their lives and imitate their faith. 8Jesus Christ is yesterday and to-day the same \'97 yes, and through the ages. 9Do not be carried away with all sorts of foreign teachings. It is well to have the heart strengthened by grace, not by special kinds of food. Those who live in that way are not profited. 10We have an altar of which those who worship in the Tent have no right to eat. 11For the bodies of the animals whose blood is brought into the holy place by the High Priest are burned outside the camp. 12For this reason Jesus also, to make the people holy by his own blood, suffered outside the gate. 13Let us go out to him outside the camp and bear the reproaches cast on him. 14For we have here no continuing city, but we are seeking the coming one. 15Through him then let us offer to God always the sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips that make confession in his name. 16Do not forget kindness and generosity, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 17Obey your leaders and yield to their authority; for they watch over your souls as those who must give account, that they may do it with joy and not with sighing. That would be unprofitable for you. 18Pray for us: for we are confident that we have a good conscience, wishing to live nobly in every way. 19I earnestly beg you to do this that I may be restored to you the sooner. 20May the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of an eternal covenant, 21equip you with every good thing for doing his will, doing in you what is well-pleasing in his sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for the ages of the ages. Amen. 22I beg you, brethren, to bear with my words of exhortation; for I have written to you briefly. 23I wish you to know that our brother Timothy has been set at liberty. With him, if he comes soon, I will see you. 24Give my greetings to all your leaders and all the holy. Those who are from Italy send their greetings to you. 25Grace be with you all.
