1Brotherly love <5360> must continue <3306>.
2Do <1950> not <3361> neglect <1950> hospitality <5381>, because <1063> through <1223> it <3778> some <5100> have entertained <3579> angels <32> without knowing it <2990>.
3Remember <3403> those in prison <1198> as though <5613> you were in prison <4887> with them, and those ill-treated <2558> as though <5613> you too <2532> felt <1510> their <846> torment <4983>.
4Marriage <1062> must be honored <5093> among <1722> all <3956> and <2532> the marriage bed <2845> kept undefiled <283>, for <1063> God <2316> will judge <2919> sexually immoral people <4205> and <2532> adulterers <3432>.
5Your conduct <5158> must be free from the love of money <866> and you must be content <714> with what you have <3918>, for <1063> he <846> has said <2046>, “I will <447> never <3756> <3361> leave <447> you <4571> and <3761> I will <1459> never <3756> <3361> abandon <1459> you <4571>.”
6So <5620> we <2248> can say <3004> with confidence <2292>, “The Lord <2962> is my <1698> helper <998>, and I will <5399> not <3756> be afraid <5399>. What <5101> can <4160> man <444> do <4160> to me <3427>?”
7Remember <3421> your <5216> leaders <2233>, who <3748> spoke <2980> God’s <2316> message <3056> to you <5213>; reflect <333> on the outcome <1545> of their lives <391> and imitate <3401> their faith <4102>.
8Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> is the same <846> yesterday <5504> and <2532> today <4594> and <2532> forever <1519> <165>!
9Do <3911> not <3361> be carried away <3911> by all sorts <4164> of strange <3581> teachings <1322>. For <1063> it is good <2570> for the heart <2588> to be strengthened <950> by grace <5485>, not <3756> ritual meals <1033>, which <3739> have <5623> never <3756> benefited <5623> those who participated <4043> in them.
10We have <2192> an altar <2379> that those who serve <3000> in the tabernacle <4633> have <2192> no <3756> right <1849> to eat <5315> from <1537>.
11For <1063> the bodies <1533> of those animals <2226> whose blood <129> the high priest <749> brings into <1519> the sanctuary <39> as an offering for <4012> sin <266> are burned <2618> outside <1854> the camp <3925>.
12Therefore <1352>, to <2443> sanctify <37> the people <2992> by <1223> his own <2398> blood <129>, Jesus <2424> also <2532> suffered <3958> outside <1854> the camp <4439>.
13We must go out <1831> to <4314> him <846>, then, outside <1854> the camp <3925>, bearing <5342> the abuse <3680> he experienced <846>.
14For <1063> here <5602> we have <2192> no <3756> lasting <3306> city <4172>, but <235> we seek <1934> the city that is to come <3195>.
15Through <1223> him <846> then let us <399> continually <1223> <3956> offer up <399> a sacrifice <2378> of praise <133> to God <2316>, that <5124> is <1510>, the fruit <2590> of our lips <5491>, acknowledging <3670> his <846> name <3686>.
16And <1161> do <1950> not <3361> neglect <1950> to do good <2140> and <2532> to share <2842> what you have, for <1063> God <2316> is pleased <2100> with such <5108> sacrifices <2378>.
17Obey <3982> your <5216> leaders <2233> and <2532> submit <5226> to them <846>, for <1063> they keep watch <69> over <5228> your <5216> souls <5590> and will give <591> an account <3056> for their work. Let them do <4160> this <5124> with <3326> joy <5479> and <2532> not <3361> with complaints <4727>, for <1063> this <5124> would be no advantage <255> for you <5213>.
18Pray <4336> for <4012> us <2257>, for <1063> we are sure <3982> that <3754> we have <2192> a clear <2570> conscience <4893> and desire <2309> to conduct <390> ourselves rightly <2573> in <1722> every respect <3956>.
19I <3870> especially <4056> ask <3870> you to pray <4160> that <2443> I may be restored <600> to you <5213> very soon <5032>.
20Now may the God <2316> of peace <1515> who by <1722> the blood <129> of the eternal <166> covenant <1242> brought back <321> from <1537> the dead <3498> the great <3173> shepherd <4166> of the sheep <4263>, our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ,
21equip <2675> you <5209> with <1722> every <3956> good thing <18> to <1519> do <4160> his <846> will <2307>, working <4160> in <1722> us <2254> what is pleasing <2101> before <1799> him <846> through <1223> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, to whom <3739> be glory <1391> forever <1519> <165> <165>. Amen <281>.
22Now <1161> I urge <3870> you <5209>, brothers and sisters <80>, bear with <430> my message <3056> of exhortation <3874>, for <1063> in fact I have written <1989> to you <5213> briefly <1024>.
23You should know <1097> that our <2257> brother <80> Timothy <5095> has been released <630>. If <1437> he comes <2064> soon <5032>, he will be with me when I see <3700> you <5209>.
24Greetings <782> to all <3956> your <5216> leaders <2233> and <2532> all <3956> the saints <40>. Those from <575> Italy <2482> send <782> you <5209> greetings <782>.
25Grace <5485> be with <3326> you <5216> all <3956>.
