Hebrews 13
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
13 Let the charity of the brotherhood abide in you.
2 And hospitality do not forget; for by this some, being not aware of it, have entertained angels.
3 Remember them that are in bands, as if you were bound with them; and them that labour, as being yourselves also in the body.
4 Marriage honourable in all, and the bed undefiled. For fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
5 Let your manners be without covetousness, contented with such things as you have; for he hath said: I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee.
6 So that we may confidently say: The Lord is my helper: I will not fear what man shall do to me.
7 Remember your prelates who have spoken the word of God to you; whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation,
8 Jesus Christ, yesterday, and to day; and the same for ever.
9 Be not led away with various and strange doctrines. For it is best that the heart be established with grace, not with meats; which have not profited those that walk in them.
10 We have an altar, whereof they have no power to eat who serve the tabernacle.
11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the holies by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 Let us go forth therefore to him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
14 For we have not here a lasting city, but we seek one that is to come.
15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise always to God, that is to say, the fruit of lips confessing to his name.
16 And do not forget to do good, and to impart; for by such sacrifices God's favour is obtained.
17 Obey your prelates, and be subject to them. For they watch as being to render an account of your souls; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief. For this is not expedient for you.
18 Pray for us. For we trust we have a good conscience, being willing to behave ourselves well in all things.
19 And I beseech you the more to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20 And may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great pastor of the sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the blood of the everlasting testament,
21 Fit you in all goodness, that you may do his will; doing in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen.
22 And I beseech you, brethren, that you suffer this word of consolation. For I have written to you in a few words.
23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty: with whom (if he come shortly) I will see you.
24 Salute all your prelates, and all the saints. The brethren from Italy salute you.
25 Grace be with you all. Amen.
Hebraeos 13
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
13 Caritas fraternitatis maneat in vobis,
2 et hospitalitatem nolite oblivisci: per hanc enim latuerunt quidam, angelis hospitio receptis.
3 Mementote vinctorum, tamquam simul vincti: et laborantium, tamquam et ipsi in corpore morantes.
4 Honorabile connubium in omnibus, et thorus immaculatus. Fornicatores enim, et adulteros judicabit Deus.
5 Sint mores sine avaritia, contenti praesentibus: ipse enim dixit: Non te deseram, neque derelinquam:
6 ita ut confidenter dicamus: Dominus mihi adjutor: non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.
7 Mementote praepositorum vestrorum, qui vobis locuti sunt verbum Dei: quorum intuentes exitum conversationis, imitamini fidem.
8 Jesus Christus heri, et hodie: ipse et in saecula.
9 Doctrinis variis et peregrinis nolite abduci. Optimum est enim gratia stabilire cor, non escis: quae non profuerunt ambulantibus in eis.
10 Habemus altare, de quo edere non habent potestatem, qui tabernaculo deserviunt.
11 Quorum enim animalium infertur sanguis pro peccato in Sancta per pontificem, horum corpora cremantur extra castra.
12 Propter quod et Jesus, ut sanctificaret per suum sanguinem populum, extra portam passus est.
13 Exeamus igitur ad eum extra castra, improperium ejus portantes.
14 Non enim habemus hic manentem civitatem, sed futuram inquirimus.
15 Per ipsum ergo offeramus hostiam laudis semper Deo, id est, fructum labiorum confitentium nomini ejus.
16 Beneficentiae autem et communionis nolite oblivisci: talibus enim hostiis promeretur Deus.
17 Obedite praepositis vestris, et subjacete eis. Ipsi enim pervigilant quasi rationem pro animabus vestris reddituri, ut cum gaudio hoc faciant, et non gementes: hoc enim non expedit vobis.
18 Orate pro nobis: confidimus enim quia bonam conscientiam habemus in omnibus bene volentes conversari.
19 Amplius autem deprecor vos hoc facere, quo celerius restituar vobis.
20 Deus autem pacis, qui eduxit de mortuis pastorem magnum ovium, in sanguine testamenti aeterni, Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum,
21 aptet vos in omni bono, ut faciatis ejus voluntatem: faciens in vobis quod placeat coram se per Jesum Christum: cui est gloria in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
22 Rogo autem vos fratres, ut sufferatis verbum solatii. Etenim perpaucis scripsi vobis.
23 Cognoscite fratrem nostrum Timotheum dimissum: cum quo (si celerius venerit) videbo vos.
24 Salutate omnes praepositos vestros, et omnes sanctos. Salutant vos de Italia fratres.
25 Gratia cum omnibus vobis. Amen.
