Hebrews 13

¹Let brotherly loue continue.

²Be not forgetfull to intertaine strangers: for thereby some haue receiued Angels into their houses vnwares.

³Remember them that are in bondes, as though ye were bounde with them: and them that are in affliction, as if ye were also afflicted in the body.

⁴Mariage is honorable among all, and the bed vndefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will iudge.

⁵Let your conuersation be without couetousnesse, and be content with those things that ye haue, for he hath said,

⁶I will not faile thee, neither forsake thee:

⁷So that we may boldly say, The Lord is mine helper, neither will I feare what man can doe vnto me.

⁸Remember them which haue the ouersight of you, which haue declared vnto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering what hath bene the ende of their conuersation. Iesus Christ yesterday, and to day, the same also is for euer.

⁹Be not caried about with diuers and strange doctrines: for it is a good thing that the heart be stablished with grace, and not with meates, which haue not profited them that haue bene occupied therein.

¹⁰We haue an altar, whereof they haue no authoritie to eate, which serue in the tabernacle.

¹¹For the bodies of those beastes whose blood is brought into the Holy place by the high Priest for sinne, are burnt without the campe.

¹²Therefore euen Iesus, that he might sanctifie the people with his owne blood, suffered without the gate.

¹³Let vs goe foorth to him therefore out of the campe, bearing his reproch.

¹⁴For here haue we no continuing citie: but we seeke one to come.

¹⁵Let vs therefore by him offer the sacrifice of prayse alwaies to God, that is, the fruite of the lippes, which confesse his Name.

¹⁶To doe good, and to distribute forget not: for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

¹⁷Obey them that haue the ouersight of you, and submit your selues: for they watche for your soules, as they that must giue accountes, that they may doe it with ioy, and not with griefe: for that is vnprofitable for you.

¹⁸Pray for vs: for we are assured that we haue a good conscience in all things, desiring to liue honestly.

¹⁹And I desire you somewhat the more earnestly, that yee so doe, that I may be restored to you more quickly.

²⁰The God of peace that brought againe from the dead our Lord Iesus, the great shepheard of the sheepe, through the blood of the euerlasting Couenant,

²¹Make you perfect in all good workes, to doe his will, working in you that which is pleasant in his sight through Iesus Christ, to whom be praise for euer and euer, Amen.

²²I beseeche you also, brethren, suffer the wordes of exhortation: for I haue written vnto you in fewe wordes.

²³Knowe that our brother Timotheus is deliuered, with whome (if hee come shortly) I will see you.

²⁴Salute all them that haue the ouersight of you, and all the Saintes. They of Italie salute you.

²⁵Grace be with you all, Amen. Written to the Hebrewes from Italie, and sent by Timotheus.

Hebrews 13

¹Let brotherly love continue.

²Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

³Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

⁴Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

⁵Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

⁶So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

⁷Remember 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.

⁸Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

⁹Be 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.

¹⁰We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.

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

¹²Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

¹³Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

¹⁴For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

¹⁵By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

¹⁶But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

¹⁷Obey 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.

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, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

²⁰Now 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,

²¹Make 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.

²²And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.

²³Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

²⁴Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.

²⁵Grace be with you all. Amen. Written to the Hebrews from Italy by Timothy.
