1 L et brotherly love abide.

2 B e not forgetful of hospitality; for by it some have unawares entertained angels.

3 R emember prisoners, as bound with; those that are evil-treated, as being yourselves also in body.

4 m arriage every way in honour, and the bed undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers will God judge.

5 c onversation without love of money, satisfied with present circumstances; for he has said, I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee.

6 S o that, taking courage, we may say, The Lord my helper, and I will not be afraid: what will man do unto me?

7 R emember your leaders who have spoken to you the word of God; and considering the issue of their conversation, imitate their faith.

8 J esus Christ the same yesterday, and to-day, and to the ages.

9 B e not carried away with various and strange doctrines; for good that the heart be confirmed with grace, not meats; those who have walked in which have not been profited by.

10 W e have an altar of which they have no right to eat who serve the tabernacle;

11 f or of those beasts whose blood is carried into the holies by the high priest, of these the bodies are burned outside the camp.

12 W herefore also Jesus, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate:

13 t herefore let us go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach:

14 f or we have not here an abiding city, but we seek the coming one.

15 B y him therefore let us offer sacrifice of praise continually to God, that is, fruit of lips confessing his name.

16 B ut of doing good and communicating be not forgetful, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

17 O bey your leaders, and be submissive; for they watch over your souls as those that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not groaning, for this unprofitable for you.

18 P ray for us: for we persuade ourselves that we have a good conscience, in all things desirous to walk rightly.

19 B ut I much more beseech to do this, that I may the more quickly be restored to you.

20 B ut the God of peace, who brought again from among dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, in blood of eternal covenant,

21 p erfect you in every good work to the doing of his will, doing in you what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ; to whom glory for the ages of ages. Amen.

22 B ut I beseech you, brethren, bear the word of exhortation, for it is but in few words that I have written to you.

23 K now that our brother Timotheus is set at liberty; with whom, if he should come soon, I will see you.

24 S alute all your leaders, and all the saints. They from Italy salute you.

25 G race with you all. Amen.
