^{1 Ref} Go on loving your brothers in the faith.

^{2 Ref} Take care to keep open house: because in this way some have had angels as their guests, without being conscious of it.

^{3 Ref} Keep in mind those who are in chains, as if you were chained with them, and those who are in trouble, as being yourselves in the body.

^{4 Ref} Let married life be honoured among all of you and not made unclean; for men untrue in married life will be judged by God.

^{5 Ref} Be free from the love of money and pleased with the things which you have; for he himself has said, I will be with you at all times.

^{6 Ref} So that we say with a good heart, The Lord is my helper; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?

^{7 Ref} Keep in mind those who were over you, and who gave you the word of God; seeing the outcome of their way of life, let your faith be like theirs.

^{8 Ref} Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever.

^{9 Ref} Do not be turned away by different strange teachings, because it is good for your hearts to be made strong by grace, and not by meats, which were of no profit to those who took so much trouble over them.

^{10 Ref} We have an altar from which those priests who are servants in the Tent may not take food.

^{11 Ref} For the bodies of the beasts whose blood is taken into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin are burned outside the circle of the tents.

^{12 Ref} For this reason Jesus was put to death outside the walls, so that he might make the people holy by his blood.

^{13 Ref} Let us then go out to him outside the circle of the tents, taking his shame on ourselves.

^{14 Ref} For here we have no fixed resting-place, but our search is for the one which is to come.

^{15 Ref} Let us then make offerings of praise to God at all times through him, that is to say, the fruit of lips giving witness to his name.

^{16 Ref} But go on doing good and giving to others, because God is well-pleased with such offerings.

^{17 Ref} Give ear to those who are rulers over you, and do as they say: for they keep watch over your souls, ready to give an account of them; let them be able to do this with joy and not with grief, because that would be of no profit to you.

^{18 Ref} Make prayers for us, for we are certain that our hearts are free from the sense of sin, desiring the right way of life in all things.

^{19 Ref} I make this request more strongly, in the hope of coming back to you more quickly.

^{20 Ref} Now may the God of peace, who made that great keeper of his flock, even our Lord Jesus, come back from the dead through the blood of the eternal agreement,

^{21 Ref} Make you full of every good work and ready to do all his desires, working in us whatever is pleasing in his eyes through Jesus Christ; and may the glory be given to him for ever and ever. So be it.

^{22 Ref} But, brothers, take kindly the words which I have said for your profit; for I have not sent you a long letter.

^{23 Ref} Our brother Timothy has been let out of prison; and if he comes here in a short time, he and I will come to you together.

^{24 Ref} Give words of love from me to those who are rulers over you, and to all the saints. Those who are in Italy send you their love.

^{25 Ref} May grace be with you all.

^{1 Ref} Let brotherly love remain;

^{2 Ref} of the hospitality be not forgetful, for through this unawares certain did entertain messengers;

^{3 Ref} be mindful of those in bonds, as having been bound with them, of those maltreated, as also yourselves being in the body;

^{4 Ref} honourable `is' the marriage in all, and the bed undefiled, and whoremongers and adulterers God shall judge.

^{5 Ref} Without covetousness the behaviour, being content with the things present, for He hath said, `No, I will not leave, no, nor forsake thee,'

^{6 Ref} so that we do boldly say, `The Lord `is' to me a helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.'

^{7 Ref} Be mindful of those leading you, who did speak to you the word of God, whose faith -- considering the issue of the behaviour -- be imitating,

^{8 Ref} Jesus Christ yesterday and to-day the same, and to the ages;

^{9 Ref} with teachings manifold and strange be not carried about, for `it is' good that by grace the heart be confirmed, not with meats, in which they who were occupied were not profited;

^{10 Ref} we have an altar, of which to eat they have no authority who the tabernacle are serving,

^{11 Ref} for of those beasts whose blood is brought for sin into the holy places through the chief priest -- of these the bodies are burned without the camp.

^{12 Ref} Wherefore, also Jesus -- that he might sanctify through `his' own blood the people -- without the gate did suffer;

^{13 Ref} now, then, may we go forth unto him without the camp, his reproach bearing;

^{14 Ref} for we have not here an abiding city, but the coming one we seek;

^{15 Ref} through him, then, we may offer up a sacrifice of praise always to God, that is, the fruit of lips, giving thanks to His name;

^{16 Ref} and of doing good, and of fellowship, be not forgetful, for with such sacrifices God is well-pleased.

^{17 Ref} Be obedient to those leading you, and be subject, for these do watch for your souls, as about to give account, that with joy they may do this, and not sighing, for this `is' unprofitable to you.

^{18 Ref} Pray for us, for we trust that we have a good conscience, in all things willing to behave well,

^{19 Ref} and more abundantly do I call upon `you' to do this, that more quickly I may be restored to you.

^{20 Ref} And the God of the peace, who did bring up out of the dead the great shepherd of the sheep -- in the blood of an age-during covenant -- our Lord Jesus,

^{21 Ref} make you perfect in every good work to do His will, doing in you that which is well-pleasing before Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom `is' the glory -- to the ages of the ages! Amen.

^{22 Ref} And I entreat you, brethren, suffer the word of the exhortation, for also through few words I have written to you.

^{23 Ref} Know ye that the brother Timotheus is released, with whom, if he may come more shortly, I will see you.

^{24 Ref} Salute all those leading you, and all the saints; salute you doth those from Italy:

^{25 Ref} the grace `is' with you all! Amen.

^{1 Ref} Let brotherly love continue.

^{2 Ref} Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

^{3 Ref} Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

^{4 Ref} Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

^{5 Ref} 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 Ref} So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

^{7 Ref} 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 Ref} Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

^{9 Ref} 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 Ref} We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.

^{11 Ref} 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 Ref} Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

^{13 Ref} Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

^{14 Ref} For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

^{15 Ref} 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 Ref} But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

^{17 Ref} 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 Ref} Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.

^{19 Ref} But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

^{20 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.

^{23 Ref} Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

^{24 Ref} Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.

^{25 Ref} Grace be with you all. Amen.
