Završne napomene

13 Neka vaša bratska ljubav ne umine.

Ne zanemarujte gostoljubivost jer su neki, i ne znajući, ugostili anđele!

Ne zaboravljajte uznike u zatvoru. Suosjećajte s njima kao da ste i sami ondje. Suosjećajte sa zlostavljanima kao da njihove nevolje trpite na vlastitom tijelu.

Poštujte svoj brak i budite jedni drugima vjerni u braku. Bog će sigurno osuditi sve bludnike i preljubnike.

Klonite se pohlepe za novcem, budite zadovoljni onim što imate. Jer Bog je rekao:
    'Nikada te neću napustiti ni iznevjeriti!'[a]

Zato s pouzdanjem možemo reći:
    'Gospodin je moj pomagač
            i zato se ne bojim.
    Što mi mogu učiniti obični smrtnici?'[b]

Sjećajte se svojih starješina koji su vam govorili Božju riječ. Razmišljajući o tome kako su živjeli i umrli, pouzdajte se u Boga kao i oni.

Isus Krist isti je jučer, danas i dovijeka će biti isti.

Ne dajte se zavesti raznim tuđim učenjima! Izvor vaše duhovne snage je Božja milost, a ne obredna pravila o hrani, koja ne koriste onima koji ih obdržavaju.

10 Mi imamo oltar s kojega ne mogu jesti poslužitelji zemaljskoga šatora.

11 Po židovskome je Zakonu veliki svećenik u Svetinju prinosio životinjsku krv kao žrtvu za grijehe, ali su se životinjska tijela spaljivala izvan tabora.

12 Zato je i Isus trpio izvan gradskih vrata, da posveti svoj narod svojom krvlju.

13 Iziđimo stoga k njemu, izvan tabora, i nosimo njegovu sramotu.

14 Jer mi ovdje nemamo trajnoga grada. Iščekujemo svoj vječni grad u nebu.

15 S Isusovom pomoći prinosimo neprekidno svoju žrtvu hvale Bogu slaveći usnama njegovo ime!

16 Ne zaboravljajte činiti dobro i dijeliti s onima koji su u potrebi jer su takve žrtve drage Bogu!

17 Slušajte svoje starješine i činite kako vam kažu. Njihova je zadaća da bdiju nad vašim dušama i za to će odgovarati Bogu. Trudite se da to mogu obavljati radosno, a ne uzdišući, jer to ni za vas nije dobro.

18 Molite se za nas. Savjest nam je čista i u svemu se želimo ponašati kako dolikuje.

19 Usrdno vas molim, molite se da se što prije vratim k vama.

20 Neka vas Bog mira, koji je zbog krvi vječnoga saveza uskrisio od mrtvih velikoga Pastira, našega Gospodina Isusa Krista,

21 osposobi da činite svako dobro djelo i da vršite njegovu volju. Neka on čini u nama što je njemu drago, po Isusu Kristu kojemu slava u vijeke vjekova. Amen.

22 Molim vas, draga braćo, poslušajte riječi ohrabrenja koje sam vam ukratko napisao!

23 Znajte da je brat Timotej izišao iz zatvora. Ako ubrzo dođe, posjetit ću vas skupa s njime.

24 Pozdravite sve starješine i sve svete. Pozdravljaju vas braća iz Italije.

25 Neka Božja milost bude sa svima vama. Amen.

Concluding Moral Directions

13 Let (A)brotherly love continue. (B)Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing (C)some have unwittingly entertained angels. (D)Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.

(E)Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; (F)but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

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.” So we may boldly say:

(H)“The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?”

Concluding Religious Directions

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. Jesus Christ is (I)the same yesterday, today, and forever. 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.

Concluding Exhortations

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

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) 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)

So we say with confidence,

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

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. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.(N)

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)
