NASB Bible

Hebrews 13

The Changeless Christ

1

Let  alove of the brethren continue.

2

Do not neglect to  ashow hospitality to strangers, for by this some have  bentertained angels without knowing it.

3

 aRemember  bthe prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body.

4

 aMarriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled;  bfor fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

5

Make sure that your character is  afree from the love of money,  bbeing content with what you have; for He Himself has said, " cI WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU,"

6

so that we confidently say, " aTHE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT WILL MAN DO TO ME?"

7

Remember  athose who led you, who spoke  bthe word of God to you; and considering the  1result of their conduct,  cimitate their faith.

8

 aJesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

9

 aDo not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to  bbe strengthened by grace, not by  cfoods,  dthrough which those who  1were so occupied were not benefited.

10

We have an altar  afrom which those  bwho serve the  1tabernacle have no right to eat.

11

For  athe bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp.

12

Therefore Jesus also,  athat He might sanctify the people  bthrough His own blood, suffered  coutside the gate.

13

So, let us go out to Him outside the camp,  abearing His reproach.

14

For here  awe do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking  bthe city which is to come.

God-pleasing Sacrifices

15

 aThrough Him then, let us continually offer up a  bsacrifice of praise to God, that is,  cthe fruit of lips that  1give thanks to His name.

16

And do not neglect doing good and  asharing, for  bwith such sacrifices God is pleased.

17

 aObey your leaders and submit to them, for  bthey keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account.  1Let them do this with joy and not  2with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you.

18

 aPray for us, for we are sure that we have a  bgood conscience, desiring to conduct ourselves honorably in all things.

19

And I urge you all the more to do this,  aso that I may be restored to you the sooner.

Benediction

20

Now  athe God of peace, who  bbrought up from the dead the  cgreat Shepherd of the sheep  1through  dthe blood of the  eeternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord,

21

 aequip you in every good thing to do His will,  bworking in us that  cwhich is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ,  dto whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

22

But  aI urge you,  bbrethren,  1bear with  2this  bword of exhortation, for  cI have written to you briefly.

23

 1Take notice that  aour brother Timothy has been released, with whom, if he comes soon, I will see you.

24

Greet  aall of your leaders and all the  1 bsaints. Those from  cItaly greet you.

25

 aGrace be with you all.
