13:1 Let brotherly-love abide.
13:2 Do not forget hospitality; for* through this some, being eluded, have lodged messengers.
13:3 Remember those who are prisoners, as though bound together with them; those who are mistreated, as though being mistreated yourselves also in the body.
13:4 Let marriage be honored among all and let the marriage-bed be undefiled, but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
13:5 In the manner of life, be content with present* things not being a money-lover; for* he himself has said, I may never* be lax concerning you, nor should I ever forsake you.
13:6 So-that we, being courageous, may say, The Lord is my helper and I will not fear. What will man do to me? {Ps. 56:4, 11; 118:6}
13:7 Remember your* leaders, men who spoke to you* the word of God, and review the outcome of their conduct, imitate the faith of such.
13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
13:9 Do not be carried away by various and strange teachings; for* it is good that the heart be established by grace; not by foods, in which those who walked have not been profited.

13:11 For* the bodies of those creatures, whose blood is brought into the holy-place through the high-priest as an offering concerning sin, are burned outside the encampment.
13:12 Now-then Jesus also suffered outside the gate, that* he might sanctify the people through his own blood.
13:13 Therefore let us go forth to him outside the encampment, carrying his reproach.
13:14 For* we do not have an abiding city here, but we are seeking after the future city.
13:15 Therefore, let us always offer up a sacrifice of praising through him to God, that is, the fruit of our lips confessing to his name.
13:16 But do not forget the practice of good* and fellowship; for God is well pleased with such sacrifices.
13:17 Obey your* leaders and yield yourselves to them; for* they are watching out on behalf of your* souls, as those who will give account; that* they may do this with joy and not groaning; for* this would be detrimental to you*.
13:18 Pray concerning us; for* we have confidence that we have a good conscience, wishing to conduct ourselves in a good manner in all things.
13:19 But I am encouraging you * even-more to do this, that* I may be restored to you* shortly.
13:20 Now the God of peace, who brought up the great shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Jesus, from the dead with the blood of an everlasting covenant*,
13:21 may he perfect you* in every good work, *that* you* should practice his will, doing what is well pleasing in his sight in you*, through Jesus Christ: to whom is the glory forever and ever. Amen.
13:22 But I am encouraging you*, brethren, tolerate the word of encouragement, for* I have informed you* by letter through bits of information.
13:23 Do you* know that our brother Timothy has been released? With whom, I will see you* if he comes shortly.
13:24 Greet all your* leaders and all the holy-ones. Those from Italy greet you*.
13:25 Grace be with you* all. Amen.
