1 Let brotherly love continue. 

2 Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it. 

3 Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body. 

4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

5 Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”

6 So that with good courage we say,

“The Lord is my helper. I will not fear.
    What can man do to me?”

7 Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you

the word of God, and considering the results of their

conduct, imitate their faith. 

8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and

forever. 

9 Don’t be carried away by various and strange

teachings, for it is good that the heart be established

by grace, not by food, through which those who were

so occupied were not benefited.

10 We have an altar from which those who serve the

holy tabernacle have no right to eat. 

11 For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is

brought into the holy place by the high priest as an

offering for sin, are burned outside of the camp.

12 Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the

people through his own blood, suffered outside of the

gate. 

13 Let us therefore go out to him outside of the camp, bearing his reproach. 

14 For we don’t have here an enduring city, but we seek that 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 proclaim allegiance to his name. 

16 But don’t forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
