| 13: • 1 Let brotherly love remain and abide. [o] 2 Do not be forgetful of hospitality, for through hospitality, some have entertained angels unawares. 3 Remember those who are bound as sharing their bonds together with them, and those being mistreated, as if you yourself are also in their body. 4 Marriage is greatly valuable in all, and the marriage bed undefiled [p]; but the sexually immoral and adulterers God will judge. 5 Be without avarice in your manner of life, being satisfied with the active coming [of Christ already now]. as He Himself said, • “I will never let go of you nor leave you behind.” 6 So, being filled with courage and good cheer, we say, “The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What could man do to me?” • 7 Remember those leading you in the way, who speak the word of God to you; observe carefully what comes out from their way of living; imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, today, and into the ages. 9 Do not be misled or seduced by various and strange teachings; it is good for the heart to be established by grace, not foods [of the old covenant sacrifice], in which those devoted do not gain anything. 10 But we have an altar out from which to eat, to which those serving the old tabernacle have no right. 11 For the bodies of those animals, whose sacrificial blood is brought into the Most Devoted Place by the high priest, are burned outside the camp. 12 Therefore, Jesus also, that He might make the people devoted [utterly connected with God] through His own blood, suffered outside the gate. • 13 Therefore, we should go forth to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach, that is, the accusations against Him. 14 Indeed, we do not have an abiding city here [in our present circumstances], but we are seeking for one ready to come. 1 • 5 Through Him, then, we should bring the offering of praise to God through everything, that is, the fruit of our lips, speaking together His same name. 16 And do not be forgetful of doing good in the koinonia of sharing, indeed, such offerings are well pleasing to God. • 17 Have confidence in those who are leading you, and yield to them as they watch over your souls [your self-story], as they restore word to you; that they might do this with joy and not grief, for that would be unprofitable for you [q). 18 Pray for us; we are persuaded indeed that we possess a good consciousness, desiring to live well inside of everything. 19 Even more, I exhort you to pray that I might return to visit you soon. • 20 Now, may the God of peace, having brought our Lord Jesus out from the dead, the great Shepherd of the sheep, inside of the blood of the age-unfolding covenant, 21 complete, equip, and fit you together inside of everything good, into doing His desire, as He does inside of us through Jesus Christ what is well-pleasing in His presence, to whom be glory into the greatest of the ages. Let it be so; it is so. 22 Moreover, I exhort you, brothers and sisters, bear with my word of encouragement and comfort, through these few words I have written to you. 23 You know that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I will see you, if he should come soon. 24 Greet all those leading you, and all the devoted ones. I greet you with those from Italy. 25 Grace, the enabling presence of God, be with all of you. Let it be so; it is so. |
