| [1]Let brotherly love remain; |
[1]Let love for the brethren dwell among you. |
| [2]of the hospitality be not forgetful, for through this unawares certain did entertain messengers; |
[2]And forget not kindness to strangers; for thereby some have been privileged to entertain angels, unawares. |
| [3]be mindful of those in bonds, as having been bound with them, of those maltreated, as also yourselves being in the body; |
[3]And remember those in bonds, as if ye were bound with them: and recollect those in affliction, as being yourselves clothed in flesh. |
| [4]honourable [is] the marriage in all, and the bed undefiled, and whoremongers and adulterers God shall judge. |
[4]Marriage is honorable in all; and their bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers, God will judge. |
| [5]Without covetousness the behaviour, being content with the things present, for He hath said, `No, I will not leave, no, nor forsake thee,' |
[5]Let not your mind love money; but let what ye have, satisfy you. For the Lord himself hath said, I will never leave thee, nor slacken the hand towards thee. |
| [6]so that we do boldly say, `The Lord [is] to me a helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.' |
[6]And it belongeth to us, to say confidently, My Lord is my aider, I will not fear. What can man do to me? |
| [7]Be mindful of those leading you, who did speak to you the word of God, whose faith -- considering the issue of the behaviour -- be imitating, |
[7]Remember your guides, who have spoken to you godly discourse ; examine the issue of their course, and imitate their faith. |
| [8]Jesus Christ yesterday and to-day the same, and to the ages; |
[8]Jesus the Messiah is the same, yesterday, to-day, and for ever. |
| [9]with teachings manifold and strange be not carried about, for [it is] good that by grace the heart be confirmed, not with meats, in which they who were occupied were not profited; |
[9]Be not led away by strange and variable doctrines. For it is a good thing, that we strengthen our hearts with grace, and not with meats; for those have not been benefited, who walked in them. |
| [10]we have an altar, of which to eat they have no authority who the tabernacle are serving, |
[10]And we have an altar, of which they who minister in the tabernacle have no right to eat. |
| [11]for of those beasts whose blood is brought for sin into the holy places through the chief priest -- of these the bodies are burned without the camp. |
[11]For the flesh of those animals, whose blood the high priest brought into the sanctuary for sins, was burned without the camp. |
| [12]Wherefore, also Jesus -- that he might sanctify through [his] own blood the people -- without the gate did suffer; |
[12]For this reason, Jesus also, that he might sanctify his people with his blood, suffered without the city. |
| [13]now, then, may we go forth unto him without the camp, his reproach bearing; |
[13]Therefore, let us also go forth to him, without the camp, clothed with his reproach: |
| [14]for we have not here an abiding city, but the coming one we seek; |
[14](for we have here no abiding city; but we expect one that is future:) |
| [15]through him, then, we may offer up a sacrifice of praise always to God, that is, the fruit of lips, giving thanks to His name; |
[15]and through him, let us at all times offer to God the sacrifices of praise, that is, the fruits of lips which give thanks to his name. |
| [16]and of doing good, and of fellowship, be not forgetful, for with such sacrifices God is well-pleased. |
[16]And forget not commiseration and communication with the poor; for with such sacrifices a man pleaseth God. |
| [17]Be obedient to those leading you, and be subject, for these do watch for your souls, as about to give account, that with joy they may do this, and not sighing, for this [is] unprofitable to you. |
[17]Confide in your guides, and hearken to them; for they watch for your souls, as men who must give an account of you, that they may do this with joy and not with anguish; for that would not be profitable to you. |
| [18]Pray for us, for we trust that we have a good conscience, in all things willing to behave well, |
[18]Pray ye for us; for we trust we have a good consciousness, that in all things we desire to conduct ourselves well. |
| [19]and more abundantly do I call upon [you] to do this, that more quickly I may be restored to you. |
[19]Especially do I request you to do this, that I may return to you speedily. |
| [20]And the God of the peace, who did bring up out of the dead the great shepherd of the sheep -- in the blood of an age-during covenant -- our Lord Jesus, |
[20]May the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the flock, by the blood of the everlasting covenant, namely Jesus the Messiah, our Lord, |
| [21]make you perfect in every good work to do His will, doing in you that which is well-pleasing before Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom [is] the glory -- to the ages of the ages! Amen. |
[21]make you perfect in every good work, that ye may do his pleasure; and himself operate in you that which is pleasing In his sight, through Jesus the Messiah; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. |
| [22]And I entreat you, brethren, suffer the word of the exhortation, for also through few words I have written to you. |
[22]And I beseech you, my brethren, that ye be patient under this word of exhortation; for it is in few words I have written to you. |
| [23]Know ye that the brother Timotheus is released, with whom, if he may come more shortly, I will see you. |
[23]And know ye, that our brother Timothy is set at liberty: and if he come soon, I, with him, shall see you. |
| [24]Salute all those leading you, and all the saints; salute you doth those from Italy: |
[24]Salute all your guides, and all the saints. All they of Italy salute you. |
| [25]the grace [is] with you all! Amen. |
[25]Grace be with you all. Amen.End of the Epistle to the Hebrews; which was written from Italy of Rome; and was sent by the hands of Timothy. |
