Hebrews - Chapter 13 | American Standard Version

  • 1. Let love of the brethren continue.
  • 2. Forget not to show love unto strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
  • 3. Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; them that are illtreated, as being yourselves also in the body.
  • 4. {cf15i Let} marriage {cf15i be} had in honor among all, and {cf15i let} the bed {cf15i be} undefiled: for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
  • 5. Be ye free from the love of money; content with such things as ye have: for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee.
  • 6. So that with good courage we say, The Lord is my helper; I will not fear: What shall man do unto me?
  • 7. Remember them that had the rule over you, men that spake unto you the word of God; and considering the issue of their life, imitate their faith.
  • 8. Jesus Christ {cf15i is} the same yesterday and to-day, {cf15i yea} and for ever.
  • 9. Be not carried away by divers and strange teachings: for it is good that the heart be established by grace; not by meats, wherein they that occupied themselves were not profited.
  • 10. We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat that serve the tabernacle.
  • 11. For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest {cf15i as an offering} for sin, are burned without the camp.
  • 12. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered without the gate.
  • 13. Let us therefore go forth unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
  • 14. For we have not here an abiding city, but we seek after {cf15i the city} which is to come.
  • 15. Through him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to his name.
  • 16. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
  • 17. Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit {cf15i to them}: for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this {cf15i were} unprofitable for you.
  • 18. Pray for us: for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.
  • 19. And I exhort {cf15i you} the more exceedingly to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
  • 20. Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, {cf15i even} our Lord Jesus,
  • 21. make you perfect in every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom {cf15i be} the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
  • 22. But I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation, for I have written unto you in few words.
  • 23. Know ye that our brother Timothy hath been set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.
  • 24. Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.
  • 25. Grace be with you all. Amen.
