Hebrews 13

King James Version

13 Let brotherly love continue.

²Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

³Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

⁴Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

⁵Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

⁶So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

⁷Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.

⁸Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

⁹Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

¹⁰We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.

¹¹For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.

¹²Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

¹³Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

¹⁴For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

¹⁵By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

¹⁶But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

¹⁷Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

¹⁸Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.

¹⁹But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

²⁰Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

²¹Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

²²And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.

²³Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

²⁴Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.

²⁵Grace be with you all. Amen.

Evrei 13

Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014

13 Stăruiţi în dragostea^(A) frăţească. ²Să nu daţi uitării^(B) primirea de oaspeţi, căci unii^(C), prin ea, au găzduit fără să ştie pe îngeri. ³Aduceţi-vă^(D) aminte de cei ce sunt în lanţuri, ca şi cum aţi fi şi voi legaţi cu ei, de cei chinuiţi, ca unii care şi voi sunteţi în trup. ⁴Căsătoria să fie ţinută în toată cinstea şi patul să fie nespurcat, căci^(E) Dumnezeu va judeca pe curvari şi pe preacurvari. ⁵Să nu fiţi iubitori de bani. Mulţumiţi-vă^(F) cu ce aveţi, căci El Însuşi a zis: „Nicidecum n-am^(G) să te las, cu niciun chip nu te voi părăsi”. ⁶Aşa că putem zice plini de încredere: „Domnul^(H) este ajutorul meu, nu mă voi teme. Ce mi-ar putea face omul?” ⁷Aduceţi-vă^(I) aminte de mai-marii voştri care v-au vestit Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu; uitaţi-vă cu băgare de seamă la sfârşitul felului lor de vieţuire şi urmaţi-le^(J) credinţa! ⁸Isus Hristos este acelaşi^(K) ieri şi azi, şi în veci! ⁹Să^(L) nu vă lăsaţi amăgiţi de orice fel de învăţături străine, căci este bine ca inima să fie întărită prin har, nu^(M) prin mâncăruri, care n-au slujit la nimic celor ce le-au păzit. ¹⁰Noi avem^(N) un altar din care n-au drept să mănânce cei ce fac slujbă în cort. ¹¹În adevăr, trupurile dobitoacelor al^(O) căror sânge este adus de marele preot în Locul Preasfânt, pentru păcat, „sunt arse de tot afară din tabără”. ¹²De aceea, şi Isus, ca să sfinţească norodul cu Însuşi sângele Său, a^(P) pătimit dincolo de poartă. ¹³Să ieşim dar afară din tabără la El şi să suferim ocara^(Q) Lui. ¹⁴Căci^(R) noi n-avem aici o cetate stătătoare, ci suntem în căutarea celei viitoare. ¹⁵Prin^(S) El, să aducem totdeauna lui Dumnezeu o jertfă^(T) de laudă, adică rodul^(U) buzelor care mărturisesc Numele Lui. ¹⁶Şi să^(V) nu daţi uitării binefacerea şi dărnicia, căci lui Dumnezeu jertfe^(W) ca acestea Îi plac. ¹⁷Ascultaţi^(X) de mai-marii voştri şi fiţi-le supuşi, căci ei^(Y) priveghează asupra sufletelor voastre ca unii care au să dea socoteală de ele, pentru ca să poată face lucrul acesta cu bucurie, nu suspinând, căci aşa ceva nu v-ar fi de niciun folos. ¹⁸Rugaţi-vă^(Z) pentru noi, căci suntem încredinţaţi că avem un cuget bun^(AA), dorind să ne purtăm bine în toate lucrurile. ¹⁹Mai ales^(AB) vă rog cu stăruinţă să faceţi lucrul acesta, ca să vă fiu înapoiat mai curând. ²⁰Dumnezeul^(AC) păcii, care^(AD), prin sângele^(AE) legământului celui veşnic, a sculat din morţi pe Domnul nostru Isus, marele Păstor al oilor^(AF), ²¹să^(AG) vă facă desăvârşiţi în orice lucru bun, ca să faceţi voia Lui şi să lucreze^(AH) în noi ce-I este plăcut, prin Isus Hristos. A Lui^(AI) să fie slava în vecii vecilor! Amin. ²²Vă rog, fraţilor, să primiţi bine acest cuvânt de sfătuire, căci^(AJ) v-am scris pe scurt. ²³Să ştiţi că fratelui^(AK) Timotei i s-a dat drumul^(AL). Dacă vine curând, voi veni împreună cu el să vă văd. ²⁴Spuneţi sănătate tuturor mai-marilor^(AM) voştri şi tuturor sfinţilor. Cei din Italia vă trimit sănătate. ²⁵Harul^(AN) să fie cu voi cu toţi! Amin.

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)

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. ⁹Do not be ^(O)led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, ^(P)not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them. ¹⁰We have an altar ^(Q)from which those who serve the tent^[a] have no right to eat. ¹¹For ^(R)the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned ^(S)outside the camp. ¹²So Jesus also ^(T)suffered ^(U)outside the gate in order to sanctify the people ^(V)through his own blood. ¹³Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear ^(W)the reproach he endured. ¹⁴For ^(X)here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. ¹⁵^(Y)Through him then let us continually offer up ^(Z)a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, ^(AA)the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. ¹⁶Do not neglect to do good and ^(AB)to share what you have, for such ^(AC)sacrifices are pleasing to God.

¹⁷Obey ^(AD)your leaders and submit to them, ^(AE)for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to ^(AF)give an account. ^(AG)Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.

¹⁸^(AH)Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things. ¹⁹I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order ^(AI)that I may be restored to you the sooner.

Benediction

²⁰Now ^(AJ)may the God of peace ^(AK)who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, ^(AL)the great shepherd of the sheep, by ^(AM)the blood of the eternal covenant, ²¹^(AN)equip you with everything good that you may do his will, ^(AO)working in us^[b] that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, ^(AP)to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Final Greetings

²²I appeal to you, brothers,^[c] bear with my word of exhortation, for ^(AQ)I have written to you briefly. ²³You should know that ^(AR)our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon. ²⁴Greet all ^(AS)your leaders and all the saints. Those who come from Italy send you greetings. ²⁵^(AT)Grace be with all of you.
