Let brotherly love continue.
2Do not be forgetful to entertain strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.
3Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them, those who suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
4Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled, but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
5Let your way of life be without the love of money, and be content with such things as you have, for He has said, "Not at all will I leave you, not at all will I forsake you, never!"
6so that we may boldly say, "The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me."
7Remember your leaders, who have spoken to you the Word of God. Follow their faith, considering the end of their conduct:
8Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever.
9Do not be carried about with different and strange doctrines, for it is good for the heart to be established with grace, not with foods, in which those who have walked in them were not helped.
10We have an altar of which they have no right to eat, those who serve the tabernacle.
11For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the Holy of Holies by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp.
12Therefore Jesus also, so that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.
13Therefore let us go forth to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.
14For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
15By Him, then, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.
16But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17Yield to your leaders, and be submissive, for they watch for your souls, as those who must give account, that they may do it with joy and not with grief; for that is unprofitable for you.
18Pray for us; for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.
19But I beseech you the rather to do this, so that I may be more quickly restored to you.
20Now may the God of peace (who brought again our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant)
21make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
22And I beseech you, brothers, allow the word of exhortation. For I have written a letter to you in few words.
23Know that our brother Timothy has been set at liberty, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.
24Greet all those who have the rule over you, and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.
25Grace be with you all. Amen.
