Hebreos 13

Deberes cristianos
13 Permanezca[a] el amor fraternal(A). 2 No se olviden de mostrar hospitalidad[b](B), porque por ella algunos, sin saberlo, hospedaron ángeles(C). 3 Acuérdense(D) de los presos(E), como si estuvieran presos con ellos, y de los maltratados, puesto que también ustedes están en el cuerpo. 4 Sea el matrimonio honroso en todos(F), y el lecho matrimonial sin deshonra, porque a los inmorales[c] y a los adúlteros(G) los juzgará Dios.
5 Sea el carácter de ustedes sin avaricia(H), contentos con lo que tienen(I), porque Él mismo ha dicho: «Nunca te dejaré ni te desampararé(J)», 6 de manera que decimos confiadamente:
«El Señor es el que me ayuda; no temeré.
¿Qué podrá hacerme el hombre(K)?».
7 Acuérdense de sus guías(L) que les hablaron la palabra de Dios(M), y considerando el resultado de su conducta[d], imiten su fe(N). 8 Jesucristo es el mismo(O) ayer y hoy y por los siglos. 9 No se dejen llevar por doctrinas[e] diversas y extrañas(P). Porque es buena cosa para el corazón el ser fortalecido por la gracia(Q), no por alimentos(R), de los que no recibieron beneficio los que de ellos se ocupaban[f](S).
10 Nosotros tenemos un altar del cual(T) no tienen derecho a comer los que sirven en el tabernáculo[g](U). 11 Porque los cuerpos de aquellos animales, cuya sangre es llevada al santuario por el sumo sacerdote como ofrenda por el pecado, son quemados fuera del campamento(V). 12 Por lo cual también Jesús, para santificar al pueblo(W) mediante Su propia sangre(X), padeció fuera de la puerta(Y). 13 Así pues, salgamos a Su encuentro fuera del campamento, llevando Su oprobio(Z). 14 Porque no tenemos aquí una ciudad permanente(AA), sino que buscamos la que está por venir(AB).
15 Por tanto, ofrezcamos continuamente mediante Él(AC), sacrificio de alabanza a Dios(AD), es decir, el fruto de labios que confiesan[h] Su nombre(AE). 16 Y no se olviden ustedes de hacer el bien y de la ayuda mutua[i](AF), porque de tales sacrificios se agrada Dios(AG). 17 Obedezcan a sus pastores(AH) y sujétense a ellos, porque ellos velan por sus almas(AI), como quienes han de dar cuenta. Permítanles que lo hagan[j] con alegría y no quejándose, porque eso no sería provechoso para ustedes.
Bendición y saludos finales
18 Oren por nosotros(AJ), pues confiamos en que tenemos una buena conciencia(AK), deseando conducirnos honradamente en todo. 19 Es más, les exhorto a hacer esto, a fin de que yo les sea restituido(AL) muy pronto.
20 Y el Dios de paz(AM), que resucitó de entre los muertos(AN) a Jesús nuestro Señor, el gran Pastor de las ovejas(AO) mediante[k] la sangre(AP) del pacto eterno(AQ), 21 los haga aptos en toda obra buena(AR) para hacer Su voluntad, obrando Él en nosotros(AS) lo que es agradable(AT) delante de Él mediante Jesucristo, a quien sea la gloria por los siglos de los siglos(AU). Amén.
22 Les ruego(AV), hermanos(AW), que soporten[l] la palabra de exhortación, pues les he escrito brevemente(AX). 23 Sepan que nuestro hermano Timoteo(AY) ha sido puesto en libertad, con el cual, si viene pronto, he de verlos. 24 Saluden a todos sus pastores(AZ) y a todos los santos(BA). Los de Italia(BB) los saludan.
25 La gracia sea con todos ustedes(BC). Amén.[m]

Hebrews 13
New King James Version
Concluding Moral Directions
13 Let (A)brotherly love continue. 2 (B)Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing (C)some have unwittingly entertained angels. 3 (D)Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.
4 (E)Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; (F)but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, (G)“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6 So we may boldly say:
(H)“The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?”
Concluding Religious Directions
7 Remember those who [a]rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct. 8 Jesus Christ is (I)the same yesterday, today, and forever. 9 Do not be carried [b]about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.
10 We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat. 11 For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp. 12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might [c]sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate. 13 Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing (J)His reproach. 14 For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come. 15 (K)Therefore by Him let us continually offer (L)the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, (M)the fruit of our lips, [d]giving thanks to His name. 16 (N)But do not forget to do good and to share, for (O)with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17 (P)Obey those who [e]rule over you, and be submissive, for (Q)they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.
Prayer Requested
18 (R)Pray for us; for we are confident that we have (S)a good conscience, in all things desiring to live honorably. 19 But I especially urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
Benediction, Final Exhortation, Farewell
20 Now may (T)the God of peace (U)who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, (V)that great Shepherd of the sheep, (W)through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you [f]complete in every good work to do His will, (X)working in [g]you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
22 And I appeal to you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words. 23 Know that our brother Timothy has been set free, with whom I shall see you if he comes shortly.
24 Greet all those who [h]rule over you, and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.
25 Grace be with you all. Amen.

Hebrews 13
Revised Standard Version
Service Well-Pleasing to God
13 Let brotherly love continue. 2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. 3 Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you also are in the body. 4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for God will judge the immoral and adulterous. 5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, “I will never fail you nor forsake you.” 6 Hence we can confidently say,
“The Lord is my helper,
I will not be afraid;
what can man do to me?”
7 Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God; consider the outcome of their life, and imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever. 9 Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings; for it is well that the heart be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited their adherents. 10 We have an altar from which those who serve the tent[a] have no right to eat. 11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp. 12 So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. 13 Therefore let us go forth to him outside the camp, and bear the abuse he endured. 14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city which is to come. 15 Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. 16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
17 Obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your souls, as men who will have to give account. Let them do this joyfully, and not sadly, for that would be of no advantage to you.
18 Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things. 19 I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order that I may be restored to you the sooner.
Benediction
20 Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, 21 equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in you[b] that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Final Exhortation and Greetings
22 I appeal to you, brethren, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly. 23 You should understand that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon. 24 Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those who come from Italy send you greetings. 25 Grace be with all of you. Amen.
