THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE HEBREWS 13

1 Let brotherly love continue

2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers for there by some have entertained angels unawares

3 Remember them that are in bonds as bound with them and them which suffer adversity as being yourselves also in the body

4 Marriage is honourable in all and the bed undefiled but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge

5 Let your conversation be without covetousness and be content with such things as ye have for he hath said I will never leave thee nor forsake thee

6 So that we may boldly say The Lord is my helper and I will not fear what man shall do unto me

7 Remember them which have the rule over you who have spoken unto you the word of God whose faith follow considering the end of their conversation

8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday and to day and for ever

9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace not with meats which have not profited them that have been occupied therein

10 We have an altar where of they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle

11 For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin are burned without the camp

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

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

14 For here have we no continuing city but we seek one to come

15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually that is the fruit of our lips giving thanks 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 yourselves for they watch for your souls as they that must give account that they may do it with joy and not with grief for that is unprofitable for you

18 Pray for us for we trust we have a good conscience in all things willing to live honestly

19 But I beseech you the rather to do this that I may be restored to you the sooner

20 Now the God of peace that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus that great shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the everlasting covenant

21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight through Jesus Christ to whom be glory for ever and ever Amen

22 And I beseech you brethren suffer the word of exhortation for I have written a letter unto you in few words

23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is 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
