1NEVER cease to love your fellow-Christians.
2Do not neglect to show hospitality; by doing this, some have entertained angels unawares.
3Remember those in prison, as if you were there with them, and those who are being maltreated, for you are vulnerable too.
4Marriage must be honoured by all, and the marriage bond be kept inviolate; for God's judgement will fall on fornicators and adulterers.
5Do not live for money; be content with what you have, for God has said, “I will never leave you or desert you.”
6So we can take courage and say, “The Lord is my helper, I will not fear; what can man do to me?”
7Remember your leaders, who spoke God's message to you. Keep before you the outcome of their life and follow the example of their faith.
8Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and for ever.
9So do not be swept off your course by all sorts of outlandish teachings; it is good that we should gain inner strength from the grace of God, and not from rules about food, which have never benefited those who observed them.
10Our altar is one from which the priests of the sacred tent have no right to eat.
11As you know, the animals whose blood is brought by the high priest into the sanctuary as a sin-offering have their bodies burnt outside the camp.
12Therefore, to consecrate the people by his own blood, Jesus also suffered outside the gate.
13Let us then go to him outside the camp, bearing the stigma that he bore.
14For here we have no lasting city, but we are seekers after the city which is to come.
15Through Jesus let us continually offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the tribute of lips which acknowledge his name.
16Never neglect to show kindness and to share what you have with others; for such are the sacrifices which God approves.
17Obey your leaders and submit to their authority; for they are tireless in their care for you, as those who must render an account. See that their work brings them happiness, not pain and grief, for that would be no advantage to you.
18Pray for us. We are sure that our conscience is clear, and our desire is always to do what is right.
19I specially ask for your prayers, so that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20May the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of an eternal covenant,
21make you perfect in all goodness so that you may do his will; and may he create in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever! Amen.
22I beg you, friends, bear with my appeal; for this is after all a short letter.
23I have news for you: our friend Timothy has been released; and if he comes in time he will be with me when I see you.
24Greet all your leaders and all God's people. Greetings to you from our Italian friends.
25God's grace be with you all!
