* Let brotherly love abide . * Do not forget love for strangers , for by this some lodged heavenly agents , unaware . * Remember the prisoners as being in bondage together , those who are ill-treated as also yourselves being in the body . * Marriage is precious in every way , and the undefiled bed , but God will judge fornicators and adulterers . * The Way of life is to be without love of money , being content with the things that are present , for he has said , I will , no , not leave thee , and also , I will , no , not forsake thee . * So then we have confidence to say , Lord is a helper to me , and I will not fear . What will man do to me ? * Remember those who lead you , men who spoke the word of God to you , of whom , carefully observing the outcome of their conduct , imitate the faith -- * Jesus Christ , the same yesterday and today , and into the ages . * Be not carried away by various and foreign doctrines . For it is good that the heart be established with grace , not with foods by which those who walked were not benefited . * We have an altar from which they have no right to eat , those officiating at the tabernacle . * For of the beasts whose blood is brought into the holy things for sin by the high priest , the bodies of these are burned outside the camp . * Therefore Jesus also , so that he might sanctify the people through his own blood , suffered outside the gate . * Let us therefore go forth to him outside the camp , bearing his reproach . * For here we have no enduring city , but we seek that which is coming . * Through him therefore , let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually , that is , fruit of lips acknowledging his name . * But do not forget benevolence and fellowship , for God is well pleased with such sacrifices . * Have confidence in those who lead you , and yield yourselves , for they watch for your souls as men who will render account , so that they may do this with joy , and not groaning , for this is unprofitable for you . * Pray about us , for we trust that we have a good conscience , desiring to behave well in all things . * But I urge you to do this even more , so that I may be restored to you sooner . * Now the God of peace , who brought up from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep by the blood of an eternal covenant--our Lord Jesus -- * may he make you fully qualified in every good work in order to do his will , doing in you what is well-pleasing in his sight , through Jesus Christ , to whom is the glory into the ages of the ages . Truly . * And I urge you , brothers , bear with the word of exhortation , for I also wrote to you in brief . * Know ye , brother Timothy who was set free is with whom I will see you , if he comes sooner . * Salute all those who lead you , and all the sanctified . The men from Italy salute you . * Grace is with you all . Truly .
