< Previous Chapter | Full Chapter | Next Chapter >

¹Let love of the brethren continue.

²Forget not to show love unto strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

³Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; them that are illtreated, as being yourselves also in the body.

⁴`Let' marriage `be' had in honor among all, and `let' the bed `be' undefiled: for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

⁵Be 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.

⁶So that with good courage we say, The Lord is my helper; I will not fear: What shall man do unto me?

⁷Remember 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.

⁸Jesus Christ `is' the same yesterday and to-day, `yea' and for ever.

⁹Be 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.

¹⁰We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat that serve the tabernacle.

¹¹For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest `as an offering' for sin, are burned without the camp.

¹²Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered without the gate.

¹³Let us therefore go forth unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

¹⁴For we have not here an abiding city, but we seek after `the city' which is to come.

¹⁵Through 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.

¹⁶But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

¹⁷Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit `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 `were' unprofitable for you.

¹⁸Pray for us: for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.

¹⁹And I exhort `you' the more exceedingly to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

²⁰Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, `even' our Lord Jesus,

²¹make 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 `be' the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

²²But I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation, for I have written unto you in few words.

²³Know ye that our brother Timothy hath been set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

²⁴Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.

²⁵Grace be with you all. Amen.
