Hebrews 13:1–16

Final Exhortations

13Let brotherly love ⁱcontinue. ²Don’t neglect to show hospitality, for by doing this some have welcomed angels as guests without knowing it. ^j3Remember the prisoners, as though you were in prison with them, and the mistreated, as though you yourselves were suffering bodily. ^k4Marriage must be respected by all, and the marriage bed kept undefiled, because God will judge immoral people and adulterers. ^l5Your life should be free from the love of money. Be satisfied with what you have, for He Himself has said, I will never leave you or forsake you. ^mn6Therefore, we may boldly say:

The Lord is my helper;

I will not be afraid.

What can man do to me? ^op

⁷Remember your leaders who have spoken God’s word to you. As you carefully observe the outcome of their lives, imitate their faith. ^q8Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. ^r9Don’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 foods, since those involved in them have not benefited. ^s10We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle do not have a right to eat. ^t11For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the most holy place by the high priest ^uas a sin offering are burned outside the camp. ^v12Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate, ^wso that He might sanctify ^xthe people by His own blood. ¹³Let us then go to Him outside the camp, bearing His disgrace. ^y14For we do not have an enduring city here; instead, we seek the one to come. ^z15Therefore, through Him let us continually offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of our lips that confess His name. ^a16Don’t neglect to do what is good and to share, for God is pleased with such sacrifices. ^b
