# Hebrews 13

*Admonitions as to charity, honesty, covetousness; in regard to preachers, to avoid strange doctrines, to confess Christ, to give alms, to obey governors, to pray for the apostle.*

**1** Let brotherly love continue. J 2
**2** Be not forgetful to entertain strangers for thereby 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 of the body.
**4** Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
**5** Let your consecrations be without covetousness; and be content with giving 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, whereof 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 well pleasing 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.
**26** Written to the Hebrews from Italy bj Timothy.
