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,
6 So we say with confidence,
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)

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. 5 Keep 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.” 6 So we can confidently say,
7 Remember (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. 8 Jesus Christ is (N)the same yesterday and today and forever. 9 Do 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. 10 We have an altar (Q)from which those who serve the tent[a] have no right to eat. 11 For (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. 12 So Jesus also (T)suffered (U)outside the gate in order to sanctify the people (V)through his own blood. 13 Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear (W)the reproach he endured. 14 For (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. 16 Do not neglect to do good and (AB)to share what you have, for such (AC)sacrifices are pleasing to God.
17 Obey (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. 19 I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order (AI)that I may be restored to you the sooner.
Benediction
20 Now (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
22 I appeal to you, brothers,[c] bear with my word of exhortation, for (AQ)I have written to you briefly. 23 You should know that (AR)our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon. 24 Greet all (AS)your leaders and all the saints. Those who come from Italy send you greetings. 25 (AT)Grace be with all of you.

Förmaningar
13 (A) Håll syskonkärleken levande. 2 (B) Glöm inte att visa gästfrihet, för genom gästfrihet har några fått änglar till gäster[a] utan att veta om det. 3 (C) Tänk på dem som sitter i fängelse som om ni var deras medfångar, och på dem som blir misshandlade som om det gällde er egen kropp.
4 (D) Äktenskapet ska hållas i ära hos alla[b] och den äkta sängen bevaras obefläckad, för Gud ska döma dem som är sexuellt omoraliska och äktenskapsbrytare. 5 (E) Lev inte för pengar, utan nöj er med vad ni har. Gud har själv sagt: Jag ska aldrig lämna dig eller överge dig.[c] 6 Därför kan vi frimodigt säga:
Herren är min hjälpare,
jag ska inte vara rädd.
Vad kan en människa göra mig?[d]
7 (F) Tänk på era ledare som har förkunnat Guds ord för er. Se vad deras liv har lett fram till och ta efter deras tro. 8 (G) Jesus Kristus är densamme i går och i dag och i evighet.
9 (H) Låt er inte föras bort av alla slags främmande läror. Det är gott att bli styrkt i sitt hjärta genom nåd och inte genom regler om mat[e] som inte har hjälpt dem som har sysslat med sådant. 10 (I) Vi har ett altare[f] från vilket tabernaklets tjänare[g] inte har rätt att äta. 11 (J) Offerdjurens blod bärs in i det allra heligaste av översteprästen som syndoffer, men kropparna bränns upp utanför lägret. 12 (K) Därför har också Jesus lidit utanför stadsporten, för att helga folket med sitt eget blod.
13 (L) Låt oss därför gå ut till honom utanför lägret och bära hans vanära. 14 (M) Här har vi ingen stad som består, men vi söker den stad som ska komma. 15 (N) Låt oss därför ständigt genom honom frambära lovets offer till Gud, en frukt från läppar som prisar[h] hans namn. 16 (O) Och glöm inte att göra gott och dela med er, för sådana offer behagar Gud.
17 (P) Lyd era ledare och rätta er efter dem, för de vakar över era själar och ska avlägga räkenskap. Låt dem göra det med glädje och inte suckande, för det skulle inte vara lyckligt för er.
18 (Q) Be för oss. Vi vet att vi har ett gott samvete och vill göra rätt på alla sätt. 19 Särskilt vill jag att ni ber att jag snart ska få komma tillbaka till er.
20 (R) Fridens Gud har i kraft av ett evigt förbunds blod fört fårens store herde, vår Herre Jesus, upp från de döda. 21 Må han fullkomna er i allt gott så att ni gör hans vilja, och må han verka i oss det som behagar honom genom Jesus Kristus. Hans är äran i evigheters evighet. Amen.
Sluthälsningar
22 Jag ber er, bröder, att lyssna tåligt till mina förmanande ord. Jag har ju skrivit kortfattat till er.
23 (S) Jag kan berätta för er att vår broder Timoteus[i] har blivit frisläppt. Kommer han snart ska jag besöka er tillsammans med honom. 24 Hälsa alla era ledare och alla de heliga. Bröderna från Italien hälsar er. 25 Nåden vare med er alla.
