Hebrews 13:1-8

English Standard Version

Sacrifices Pleasing to God

13 Let ^(A)brotherly love continue. ²^(B)Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby ^(C)some have entertained angels unawares. ³^(D)Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body. ⁴^(E)Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge ^(F)the sexually immoral and adulterous. ⁵Keep your life ^(G)free from love of money, and ^(H)be content with what you have, for he has said, ^(I)“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” ⁶So we can confidently say,

^(J)“The Lord is my helper;
^(K)I will not fear;
what can man do to me?”

⁷Remember ^(L)your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and ^(M)imitate their faith. ⁸Jesus Christ is ^(N)the same yesterday and today and forever.

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.

⁵Let 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.” ⁶So we may boldly say:

^(H)“The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?”
