Chapter 13 (CV)

¹ Let brotherly fondness be remaining.
² Be not forgetting hospitality, for through this some were oblivious when lodging messengers.
³ Be mindful of those bound, as bound together with them; of those maltreated, as being yourselves also in the body.
⁴ May matrimony be honorable in all, and the bed undefiled, for paramours and adulterers will God be judging.
⁵ May fondness for money not be your manner, being sufficed with what is present, for He has declared: Under no circumstances may I be lax regarding you, Neither by any means may I be forsaking you.
⁶ So that we have courage to say, "The Lord is my Helper, and I shall not be afraid of what man shall be doing to me!"
⁷ Be remembering those of your leaders who speak to you the word of God, contemplating the sequel of their behavior, whose faith be imitating.
⁸ Jesus Christ, yesterday and today, is the Same One for the eons also.
⁹ By varied and strange teachings be not carried aside, for it ideal to be confirming the heart by grace, not by foods, by which those who walk were not benefitted.
¹⁰ We have an altar from which they have no right to be eating, who offer divine service in the tabernacle.
¹¹ For the animals whose blood is carried into the holy places by the chief priest concerning sin, of these the bodies are burned up outside the camp.

¹³ Now then, we may be coming out to Him outside the camp, carrying His reproach.
¹⁴ For here we are not having a permanent city, but we are seeking for the one which is impending.
¹⁵ Through Him, then, we may be offering up the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips avowing His name.
¹⁶ Now of well doing and contributing be not forgetful, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
¹⁷ Be persuaded by your leaders, and be deferring to them, for they are vigilant for the sake of your souls, as having to render an account, that they may be doing this with joy, and not with groaning, for this is disadvantageous for you.
¹⁸ Pray concerning us, for we are persuaded that we have an ideal conscience, in all wanting to behave ideally.
¹⁹ Now more exceedingly am I entreating you to do this, that I may be restored to you more quickly.
²⁰ Now may the God of peace, Who is leading up our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, from among the dead by the blood of the eonian covenant,
²¹ be adapting you to every good work to do His will, doing in us what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to Whom be glory for the eons of the eons. Amen!
²² Now I am entreating you, brethren, bear with the word of entreaty, for I write the epistle to you by bits also.
²³ Know that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom, if he should be coming more quickly, I shall be seeing you.
²⁴ Greet all your leaders, and all the saints. Those from Italy are greeting you.
²⁵ Grace be with you all. Amen! 

Chapter 13 (KJV)

¹ Let brotherly love continue.

⁶ So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
⁷ 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 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
⁹ 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.

¹¹ For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.

²¹ 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.
