Exortações finais
13 Não deixem nunca de se amar com amor fraterno. 2 Não se esqueçam da hospitalidade, porque foi assim que alguns hospedaram anjos, sem o saber. 3 Lembrem-se dos presos, como se estivessem presos com eles, e dos que são maltratados como se fossem vocês mesmos a sofrer.
4 Que o casamento seja por todos respeitado, assim como a fidelidade entre marido e mulher. Deus castigará sem falta os que se entregam à imoralidade sexual e cometem adultério. 5 Fujam do amor ao dinheiro; contentem-se com o que têm, porque Deus disse:
“Não te deixarei, nem te abandonarei.”[a]
6 É por isso que podemos afirmar com toda a segurança:
“O Senhor é aquele que me ajuda.
Não terei medo do que o homem me possa fazer.”[b]
7 Lembrem-se dos vossos líderes, que vos têm ensinado a palavra de Deus. Procurem imitar a sua fé, observando a sua maneira de viver.
8 Jesus Cristo é o mesmo ontem, hoje e para sempre. 9 Não se deixem levar por doutrinas várias e estranhas, pois a vossa força espiritual é uma dádiva de Deus e não o resultado de rituais sobre alimentos, que de nada aproveitam aos que se submetem a eles.
10 Temos um altar no qual os que servem no tabernáculo não têm direito de participar. 11 No sistema das leis judaicas, o sumo sacerdote trazia o sangue dos animais sacrificados para o santuário, como um sacrifício pelo pecado, e depois os corpos desses mesmos animais eram queimados fora do acampamento. 12 Foi por isso que Jesus também sofreu, vertendo o seu próprio sangue para nos santificar, mas fora de porta. 13 Vamos então ter com ele, lá fora, para com ele partilhar do desprezo que o mundo lhe oferece. 14 Porque não é neste mundo que temos a nossa verdadeira pátria, mas buscamos a futura.
15 Ofereçamos então continuamente a Deus, por intermédio de Jesus, sacrifícios de louvor, que consistem essencialmente no fruto de bocas que proclamam a glória do seu nome. 16 Não se esqueçam também de fazer o bem e de repartir com outros, pois com esses sacrifícios Deus se agrada.
17 Obedeçam aos vossos líderes, aceitando as suas diretivas; porque procuram estar atentos às vossas almas, tendo de dar contas a Deus. Que eles o possam fazer com alegria, não a custo, pois isso não vos seria útil.
18 Orem por nós. Sabemos que a nossa consciência está limpa, pois em tudo nos temos conduzidos com honestidade. 19 Peço-vos com insistência que continuem a orar por mim, para que possa ir ter convosco o mais brevemente possível.
20 Que o Deus de paz, que ressuscitou o nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, o grande pastor do rebanho, o qual selou com o seu sangue a aliança eterna, 21 vos aperfeiçoe em tudo, para fazerem a sua vontade, fazendo surgir nas vossas vidas tudo o que lhe é agradável, através de Cristo Jesus. A ele seja dada glória para todo o sempre. Que assim seja!
22 Rogo-vos, irmãos, que atentem cuidadosamente para as palavras de consolo desta carta, que vos escrevi abreviadamente.
23 Dou-vos a conhecer que o irmão Timóteo já saiu da prisão, com o qual, se vier a tempo, vos irei visitar.
24 Deem saudações a todos os vossos líderes e a todos os crentes em geral. Os cristãos da Itália saúdam-vos.
25 Que a graça de Deus seja com todos.

The Message
Jesus Doesn’t Change
13 1-4 Stay on good terms with each other, held together by love. Be ready with a meal or a bed when it’s needed. Why, some have extended hospitality to angels without ever knowing it! Regard prisoners as if you were in prison with them. Look on victims of abuse as if what happened to them had happened to you. Honor marriage, and guard the sacredness of sexual intimacy between wife and husband. God draws a firm line against casual and illicit sex.
5-6 Don’t be obsessed with getting more material things. Be relaxed with what you have. Since God assured us, “I’ll never let you down, never walk off and leave you,” we can boldly quote,
God is there, ready to help;
I’m fearless no matter what.
Who or what can get to me?
7-8 Appreciate your pastoral leaders who gave you the Word of God. Take a good look at the way they live, and let their faithfulness instruct you, as well as their truthfulness. There should be a consistency that runs through us all. For Jesus doesn’t change—yesterday, today, tomorrow, he’s always totally himself.
9 Don’t be lured away from him by the latest speculations about him. The grace of Christ is the only good ground for life. Products named after Christ don’t seem to do much for those who buy them.
10-12 The altar from which God gives us the gift of himself is not for exploitation by insiders who grab and loot. In the old system, the animals are killed and the bodies disposed of outside the camp. The blood is then brought inside to the altar as a sacrifice for sin. It’s the same with Jesus. He was crucified outside the city gates—that is where he poured out the sacrificial blood that was brought to God’s altar to cleanse his people.
13-15 So let’s go outside, where Jesus is, where the action is—not trying to be privileged insiders, but taking our share in the abuse of Jesus. This “insider world” is not our home. We have our eyes peeled for the City about to come. Let’s take our place outside with Jesus, no longer pouring out the sacrificial blood of animals but pouring out sacrificial praises from our lips to God in Jesus’ name.
* * *
16 Make sure you don’t take things for granted and go slack in working for the common good; share what you have with others. God takes particular pleasure in acts of worship—a different kind of “sacrifice”—that take place in kitchen and workplace and on the streets.
17 Be responsive to your pastoral leaders. Listen to their counsel. They are alert to the condition of your lives and work under the strict supervision of God. Contribute to the joy of their leadership, not its drudgery. Why would you want to make things harder for them?
18-21 Pray for us. We have no doubts about what we’re doing or why, but it’s hard going and we need your prayers. All we care about is living well before God. Pray that we may be together soon.
May God, who puts all things together,
makes all things whole,
Who made a lasting mark through the sacrifice of Jesus,
the sacrifice of blood that sealed the eternal covenant,
Who led Jesus, our Great Shepherd,
up and alive from the dead,
Now put you together, provide you
with everything you need to please him,
Make us into what gives him most pleasure,
by means of the sacrifice of Jesus, the Messiah.
All glory to Jesus forever and always!
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
22-23 Friends, please take what I’ve written most seriously. I’ve kept this as brief as possible; I haven’t piled on a lot of extras. You’ll be glad to know that Timothy has been let out of prison. If he leaves soon, I’ll come with him and get to see you myself.
24 Say hello to your pastoral leaders and all the congregations. Everyone here in Italy wants to be remembered to you.
25 Grace be with you, every one.

Concluding Exhortations
13 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.(A) 2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers,(B) for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.(C) 3 Continue to remember those in prison(D) as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
4 Marriage should be honored by all,(E) and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.(F) 5 Keep your lives free from the love of money(G) and be content with what you have,(H) because God has said,
6 So we say with confidence,
7 Remember your leaders,(K) who spoke the word of God(L) to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate(M) their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.(N)
9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings.(O) It is good for our hearts to be strengthened(P) by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods,(Q) which is of no benefit to those who do so.(R) 10 We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle(S) have no right to eat.(T)
11 The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering,(U) but the bodies are burned outside the camp.(V) 12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate(W) to make the people holy(X) through his own blood.(Y) 13 Let us, then, go to him(Z) outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.(AA) 14 For here we do not have an enduring city,(AB) but we are looking for the city that is to come.(AC)
15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice(AD) of praise—the fruit of lips(AE) that openly profess his name. 16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others,(AF) for with such sacrifices(AG) God is pleased.
17 Have confidence in your leaders(AH) and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you(AI) as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.
18 Pray for us.(AJ) We are sure that we have a clear conscience(AK) and desire to live honorably in every way. 19 I particularly urge you to pray so that I may be restored to you soon.(AL)
Benediction and Final Greetings
20 Now may the God of peace,(AM) who through the blood of the eternal covenant(AN) brought back from the dead(AO) our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,(AP) 21 equip you with everything good for doing his will,(AQ) and may he work in us(AR) what is pleasing to him,(AS) through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.(AT)
22 Brothers and sisters, I urge you to bear with my word of exhortation, for in fact I have written to you quite briefly.(AU)
23 I want you to know that our brother Timothy(AV) has been released. If he arrives soon, I will come with him to see you.
24 Greet all your leaders(AW) and all the Lord’s people. Those from Italy(AX) send you their greetings.
25 Grace be with you all.(AY)
