Chapter 13 |
1 |
|
2 |
Be not forgetful to entertain 1strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. |
3 |
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. |
4 |
1Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
|
5 |
Let your aconversation be without 1covetousness; and be content with
such things as ye have: for he hath said, 2I will never leave thee, nor forsake
thee. |
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 aconversation. |
8 |
|
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 ameats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. |
10 |
We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. |
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. |
12 |
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered 1without the
gate. |
13 |
Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. |
14 |
For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. |
15 |
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 |
But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. |
17 |
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 |
Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. |
19 |
But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. |
20 |
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 |
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 |
And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words. |
23 |
Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you. |
24 |
Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you. |
25 |
Grace be with you all. Amen. |
