Hebrews 13:1–16

Let the charity of the brotherhood abide in you.

²And hospitality do not forget: for by this some, being not aware of it, have entertained angels.

³Remember them that are in bands, as if you were bound with them: and them that labour, as being yourselves also in the body.

⁴Marriage honourable in all, and the bed undefiled. For fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

⁵Let your manners be without covetousness, contented with such things as you have. For he hath said: I will not leave thee: neither will I forsake thee.

⁶So that we may confidently say: The Lord is my helper: I will not fear what man shall do to me.

⁷Remember your prelates who have spoken the word of God to you: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation,

⁸Jesus Christ, yesterday, and today: and the same for ever.

⁹Be not led away with various and strange doctrines. For it is best that the heart be established with grace, not with meats: which have not profited those that walk in them.

¹⁰We have an altar whereof they have no power to eat who serve the tabernacle.

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

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

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

¹⁴For, we have not here a lasting city: but we seek one that is to come.

¹⁵By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise always to God, that is to say, the fruit of lips confessing to his name.

¹⁶And do not forget to do good and to impart: for by such sacrifices God’s favour is obtained.
