Hebrews 13
Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Be Loving, Pure, and Content

13 Let brotherly-love continue. 2 Do not be forgetting hospitality, for through this some having entertained[a] angels did not know it. 3 Remember[b] the prisoners, as-though having been imprisoned-with them; the ones being mistreated, as-though[c] also yourselves being in their body. 4 Let marriage be[d] honored[e] by all[f], and the bed undefiled. For God will judge the sexually-immoral-ones and adulterers. 5 Let character be without-love-of-money, being content with the present things. For He Himself has said [in Deut 31:6] “I will never[g] let you go[h], nor will I by any means forsake[i] you”, 6 so that while being confident we say “The Lord is a helper for me and I will not fear. What[j] will a human do to me?” [Ps 118:6].

Imitate The Faith of Your Leaders. Do Not Be Carried Away By Strange Teachings

7 Remember the ones leading you, who spoke the word of God to you, whose faith[k] be imitating while looking-carefully-at the result[l] of their way-of-life[m]. 8 Jesus[n] Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. 9 Do not be carried-away[o] by various[p] and strange[q] teachings. For it is good for the heart to be established[r] by grace, not by foods in-connection-with[s] which the ones walking were not profited.

We Have a Spiritual Altar. Let Us Go Out And Offer Sacrifices of Praise

10 We have an altar[t] from which the ones serving[u] in the tabernacle have no right[v] to eat. 11 For of animals from which the blood is brought into the Holies by the high priest for sin— the bodies of these are burned-up[w] outside of the camp. 12 Therefore[x] Jesus also, in order that He might make the people holy with His own blood, suffered outside[y] of the gate. 13 So-indeed[z], let us go-out[aa] to Him outside of the camp, bearing His reproach. 14 For here we do not have an abiding city, but we are seeking-for the one coming. 15 Therefore through Him let us be continually offering a sacrifice of [ab] praise to God— that is, the fruit of lips praising[ac] His name. 16 And do not be forgetting good-doing and sharing. For with such sacrifices God is pleased.

Yield To Your Leaders

17 Be obeying[ad] the ones leading you and be yielding[ae], for they are keeping-watch for your souls as ones who will render an account— in order that they may be doing this with joy, and not while groaning, for this would be unprofitable for you.

Pray For Us

18 Be praying for us. For we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, wanting to conduct-ourselves well[af] in all[ag] things. 19 And I especially appeal-to you to do this in order that I may be restored to you sooner.

May God Prepare You To Do His Will

20 Now may the God of peace— the One having brought-up from the dead the Great Shepherd of the sheep in-connection-with[ah] the blood of the eternal covenant, our Lord Jesus— 21 prepare[ai] you in every good thing so that you may do His will, while doing in us the pleasing thing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to Whom be the glory forever and ever, amen.

22 Now I exhort you, brothers, bear-with the word of exhortation. For indeed I wrote-to you with a few[aj] words. 23 Take-notice-of [ak] our brother Timothy having been released[al], with whom if he comes quicker[am], I will see you. 24 Greet all the ones leading you and all the saints. The ones from Italy greet you. 25 Grace be with you all.

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.

Hebrews 13
New International Version

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,

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

6 So we say with confidence,

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

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)

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.
