¹ Let brotherly love continue. ² Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby+ some have entertained angels unawares. ³ Remember them that are in chains, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. ⁴ Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. ⁵ Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as you have: for he has said, I will never leave you, nor+ abandon you. ⁶ So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man will do to me. ⁷ Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken to you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. ⁸ Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. ⁹ Be not carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied in it+ . ¹⁰ We have an altar, whereof+ they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. ¹¹ For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. ¹² why Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. ¹³ Let us go forward therefore to him without the camp, bearing his rebuke. ¹⁴ For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. ¹⁵ By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. ¹⁶ But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. ¹⁷ Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as those must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. ¹⁸ Pray for us: for+ we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. ¹⁹ But I beg you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. ²⁰ Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, ²¹ Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to who be glory for ever and ever. Amen. ²² And I beg you, brothers, suffer the word of exhortation: for+ I have written a letter to you in few words. ²³ Know you that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with who, if he come shortly, I will see you. ²⁴ Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you. ²⁵ Grace be with you all. Amen.
