Draft Version Hebrews 13 ¹Love your brothers as always. ²Don't forget hospitality, for without being aware of it some have entertained angels. ³Be mindful of those who are in shackles, as though you were in shackles with them, victims of abuse, as though you yourself had been with them in the body. ⁴May marriage be upheld by everyone, and the marriage bed be without compromise, because people who sell sex and those who commit adultery will be ordained by God. ⁵Make your way modestly, be content with the present things, for he has said: ``I will by no means leave you nor by any means forsake you.'' (Deuteronomy 31:6) ⁶Therefore we are bold as we say: ``The Lord is my helper, I shall not be afraid. What human will ordain me?'' (Psalms 56:11 118:6) ⁷Remember those who were considerate of you, who told you the word of God, and as you reflect on the way their lives turned out, imitate their faith. ⁸Jesus is the same yesterday and today, yes, and forever. ⁹Do not get carried away with complicated or unusual teachings, for it is good for gifts to build up the heart rather than food, with which those indulging have not been profited. ¹⁰We have a place of sacrifice, but officers of the tent are not authorized to eat from that altar. ¹¹Because the living creatures who atone for sin by means of their blood that the high priest takes into the holy place-- their bodies are burned completely outside the camp. ¹²So, Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by means of his own blood, suffered outside the city limit. ¹³May we therefore go out to him outside the camp that we may bear the reproach he bore. ¹⁴For we do not have here a city which lasts but, rather, we seek meaning. ¹⁵In this way may we always lift a sacrifice of praise to God, which is fruit borne of a lip which bears witness to his authority. ¹⁶But don't forget good works and partnering with others, because these sorts of sacrifices make our God very happy. ¹⁷Pacify commanders amongst yourselves, also submit because they are watching over your hearts, in order that they may give an account accompanied by joy and not by affliction, for this would be of no benefit to you. ¹⁸Pray about us, that we may be convinced of holding a good conscience, in all honesty remaining busy in love. ¹⁹But all the more abundantly I implore that you do this that I may the more swiftly be restored to you. ²⁰Also, the God who led up from the dead The Great Shepherd of the sheep by that blood of an everlasting covenant, the Lord of us, Jesus, ²¹prepare you for every good work, to do his will, making us through Christ Jesus fully agreeable in his sight, to whom the glory belongs forever. Amen. ²²Now, I invite you, brothers: Hold up under this word of comfort, because I have written a short letter to you. ²³Be aware that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I will come and see you if all the more speedily. ²⁴Say hello to those of you whom you hold in high esteem, and all the saints.

Hebrews 13
¹Love your brothers as always.

²Don't forget hospitality, for without being aware of it some have entertained angels.

³Be mindful of those who are in shackles, as though you were in shackles with them, victims of abuse, as though you yourself had been with them in the body.

⁴May marriage be upheld by everyone, and the marriage bed be without compromise, because people who sell sex and those who commit adultery will be ordained by God.

⁵Make your way modestly, be content with the present things, for he has said: ``I will by no means leave you nor by any means forsake you.'' (Deuteronomy 31:6)

⁶Therefore we are bold as we say: ``The Lord is my helper, I shall not be afraid. What human will ordain me?'' (Psalms 56:11 118:6)

⁷Remember those who were considerate of you, who told you the word of God, and as you reflect on the way their lives turned out, imitate their faith.

⁸Jesus is the same yesterday and today, yes, and forever.

⁹Do not get carried away with complicated or unusual teachings, for it is good for gifts to build up the heart rather than food, with which those indulging have not been profited.

¹⁰We have a place of sacrifice, but officers of the tent are not authorized to eat from that altar.

¹¹Because the living creatures who atone for sin by means of their blood that the high priest takes into the holy place-- their bodies are burned completely outside the camp.

¹²So, Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by means of his own blood, suffered outside the city limit.

¹³May we therefore go out to him outside the camp that we may bear the reproach he bore.

¹⁴For we do not have here a city which lasts but, rather, we seek meaning.

¹⁵In this way may we always lift a sacrifice of praise to God, which is fruit borne of a lip which bears witness to his authority.

¹⁶But don't forget good works and partnering with others, because these sorts of sacrifices make our God very happy.

¹⁷Pacify commanders amongst yourselves, also submit because they are watching over your hearts, in order that they may give an account accompanied by joy and not by affliction, for this would be of no benefit to you.

¹⁸Pray about us, that we may be convinced of holding a good conscience, in all honesty remaining busy in love.

¹⁹But all the more abundantly I implore that you do this that I may the more swiftly be restored to you.

²⁰Also, the God who led up from the dead The Great Shepherd of the sheep by that blood of an everlasting covenant, the Lord of us, Jesus,

²¹prepare you for every good work, to do his will, making us through Christ Jesus fully agreeable in his sight, to whom the glory belongs forever. Amen.

²²Now, I invite you, brothers: Hold up under this word of comfort, because I have written a short letter to you.

²³Be aware that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I will come and see you if all the more speedily.

²⁴Say hello to those of you whom you hold in high esteem, and all the saints. Hello from those in Italy.

²⁵Thanks all around. Amen.
