Hebrews:13

* Let brotherly love continue . * Be not forgetful to entertain strangers ; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares . * Remember those in bonds , as bound with them ; those in distress , as being yourselves also in the body . * Let marriage be honored in all respects , and the bed be undefiled ; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge . * Let your disposition be without covetousness , and be content with what ye have ; for he hath said , "I will never leave thee , nor forsake thee ;" * so that we boldly say , "The Lord is my helper , and I will not fear ; what shall man do to me ?" * Remember your leaders , who spoke to you the word of God ; and considering well the end of their manner of life , imitate their faith . * Jesus Christ is yesterday and to –day the same , and for ever . * Be not carried aside with various and strange teachings ; for it is good that the heart be established with grace , not with meats , in which those who walked were not profited . * We have an altar , of which they cannot eat who serve the tabernacle . * For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high –priest are burned without the camp . * Wherefore Jesus also , that he might sanctify the people by his own blood , suffered without the gate . * Let us then go forth to him without the camp , bearing his reproach ; * for here we have no abiding city , but are seeking that which is to come . * Through him therefore let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually , that is , the fruit of lips giving thanks to his name . * But works of kindness and liberality forget not ; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased . * Obey your leaders , and submit yourselves to them ; for they keep watch in behalf of your souls , as those who must give an account ; that they may do this with joy , and not with grief ; for this is not for your advantage . * Pray for us ; for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience , desiring in all things to conduct ourselves well ; * but I the more earnestly entreat you to do this , that I may be restored to you the sooner . * Now may the God of peace , who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of an everlasting covenant , even our Lord Jesus , * make you perfect in every good work , to do his will , doing in you that which is well –pleasing in his sight , through Jesus Christ ; to whom be the glory for ever . Amen . * But I beseech you , brethren , bear with the word of my exhortation ; for I have written to you in few words . * Know that the brother Timothy hath been set at liberty , with whom , if he come shortly , I will see you . * Salute all your leaders , and all the saints . Those from Italy salute you . * Grace be with you all . Amen .
