1Continue in brotherly love.
Brotherly Love2Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
3Remember those in prison as if you were bound with them, and those who are mistreated as if you were suffering with them.
4Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
Christ’s Unchanging Nature5Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”
6So we say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”
7Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.
8Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
9Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace and not by foods of no value to those devoted to them.
10We have an altar from which those who serve at the tabernacle have no right to eat.
11Although the high priest brings the blood of animals into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin, the bodies are burned outside the camp.
12And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate, to sanctify the people by His own blood.
13Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace He bore.
14For here we do not have a permanent city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.
Sacrifice, Obedience, and Prayer15Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that confess His name.
16And do not neglect to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
17Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch over your souls as those who must give an account. To this end, allow them to lead with joy and not with grief, for that would be of no advantage to you.
18Pray for us; we are convinced that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.
19And I especially urge you to pray that I may be restored to you soon.
Benediction and Farewell20Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,
21equip you with every good thing to do His will. And may He accomplish in us what is pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
22I urge you, brothers, to bear with my word of exhortation, for I have only written to you briefly.
23Be aware that our brother Timothy has been released. If he arrives soon, I will come with him to see you.
24Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy send you greetings.
25Grace be with all of you.
