Hebrews 13:1-17

1Let 1love of the brothers and sisters continue. 2Do not neglect 2hospitality to strangers, for by this some have 3entertained angels without knowing it. 34Remember 5the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are badly treated, since you yourselves also are in the body. 46Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; 7for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers. 5Make sure that your character is 8free from the love of money, 9being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “10I will never desert you, nor will I ever abandon you,” 6so that we confidently say, “11The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?”

7Remember 12those who led you, who spoke 13the word of God to you; and considering the 14result of their way of life, 15imitate their faith. 816Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever. 917Do not be misled by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to 18be strengthened by grace, not by 19foods, 20through which those who 21were so occupied were not benefited. 10We have an altar 22from which those 23who serve the 24tabernacle have no right to eat. 11For 25the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the Holy Place by the high priest as an offering for sin are burned outside the camp. 12Therefore Jesus also suffered 26outside the gate, 27that He might sanctify the people 28through His own blood. 13So then, let us go out to Him outside the camp, 29bearing His reproach. 14For here 30we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking 31the city which is to come. 1532Through Him then, let’s continually offer up a 33sacrifice of praise to God, that is, 34the fruit of lips praising His name. 16And do not neglect doing good and 35sharing, for 36with such sacrifices God is pleased.

1737Obey your leaders and submit to them--for 38they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account--so that they may do this with joy, not 39groaning; for this would be unhelpful for you.
