Hebrews 13

New International Version

Concluding Exhortations

13 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.^(A) ²Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers,^(B) for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.^(C) ³Continue 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.

⁴Marriage should be honored by all,^(E) and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.^(F) ⁵Keep your lives free from the love of money^(G) and be content with what you have,^(H) because God has said,

“Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you.”^[a]^(I)

⁶So we say with confidence,

“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?”^[b]^(J)

⁷Remember 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. ⁸Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.^(N)

⁹Do 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) ¹⁰We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle^(S) have no right to eat.^(T)

¹¹The 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) ¹²And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate^(W) to make the people holy^(X) through his own blood.^(Y) ¹³Let us, then, go to him^(Z) outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.^(AA) ¹⁴For here we do not have an enduring city,^(AB) but we are looking for the city that is to come.^(AC)

¹⁵Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice^(AD) of praise—the fruit of lips^(AE) that openly profess his name. ¹⁶And do not forget to do good and to share with others,^(AF) for with such sacrifices^(AG) God is pleased.

¹⁷Have 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.

¹⁸Pray for us.^(AJ) We are sure that we have a clear conscience^(AK) and desire to live honorably in every way. ¹⁹I particularly urge you to pray so that I may be restored to you soon.^(AL)

Benediction and Final Greetings

²⁰Now 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) ²¹equip 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)

²²Brothers and sisters, I urge you to bear with my word of exhortation, for in fact I have written to you quite briefly.^(AU)

²³I want you to know that our brother Timothy^(AV) has been released. If he arrives soon, I will come with him to see you.

²⁴Greet all your leaders^(AW) and all the Lord’s people. Those from Italy^(AX) send you their greetings.

²⁵Grace be with you all.^(AY)
