Hebrews 13:1–16

FINAL EXHORTATIONS

13Let brotherly love^e continue. ²Don’t neglect to show hospitality, for by doing this some have welcomed angels as guests without knowing it.^{f 3}Remember those in prison, as though you were in prison with them, and the mistreated,^E as though you yourselves were suffering bodily.^{F 4}Marriage is to be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, because God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.^{g 5}Keep your life free from the love of money. Be satisfied with what you have, for he himself has said, I will never leave you or abandon you.^{Gh 6}Therefore, we may boldly say,

The Lord is my helper;

I will not be afraid.

What can man do to me?^Hi

⁷Remember your leaders who have spoken God’s word to you. As you carefully observe the outcome of their lives, imitate their faith.^{j 8}Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.^{k 9}Don’t be led astray by various kinds of strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be established by grace and not by food regulations, since those who observe them have not benefited.^{l 10}We have an altar from which those who worship at the tabernacle do not have a right to eat.^{m 11}For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the most holy place by the high priestⁿ as a sin offering are burned outside the camp.^{o 12}Therefore, Jesus also suffered outside the gate,^p so that he might sanctify^A the people by his own blood. ¹³Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing his disgrace.^{q 14}For we do not have an enduring city here; instead, we seek the one to come.^{r 15}Therefore, through him let us continually offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name.^{s 16}Don’t neglect to do what is good and to share, for God is pleased with such sacrifices.^t
