New American Standard Bible 2020

The Changeless Christ

1Let 1loveG5360 ofG5360 theG5360 brothersG5360 and sistersG5360 continueG3306. 2Do not neglectG1950 2hospitalityG5381 toG5381 strangersG5381, for by thisG3778 someG5100 have 3entertainedG3579 angelsG32 withoutG2990 knowingG2990 it. 34RememberG3403 5the prisonersG1198, asG5613 thoughG5613 in prisonG4887 with them, and thoseG3588 who are badlyG2558 treatedG2558, sinceG5613 you yourselvesG846 alsoG2532 are in the bodyG4983. 46MarriageG1062 is to be held in honorG5093 amongG1722 allG3956, and the marriage bedG2845 is to be undefiledG283; 7for GodG2316 will judgeG2919 the sexuallyG4205 immoralG4205 and adulterersG3432. 5Make sure that your characterG5158 is 8freeG866 fromG866 theG866 loveG866 ofG866 moneyG866, 9being contentG714 with what you haveG3918; for He HimselfG846 has saidG3004, “10I will neverG3756G3361 desertG447 you, norG3761 will I everG3756G3361 abandonG1459 you,” 6soG5620 thatG5620 we confidentlyG2292 sayG3004, “11The LordG2962 is my helperG998, I will not be afraidG5399. WhatG5101 will manG444 doG4160 to me?”

7RememberG3421 12thoseG3588 who ledG2233 you, whoG3748 spokeG2980 13the wordG3056 of GodG2316 to you; and consideringG333 the 14resultG1545 of their wayG391 ofG391 lifeG391, 15imitateG3401 their faithG4102. 816JesusG2424 ChristG5547 is the sameG846 yesterdayG2189 and todayG4594, and foreverG165. 917Do not be misledG3911 by variedG4164 and strangeG3581 teachingsG1322; for it is goodG2570 for the heartG2588 to 18be strengthenedG950 by graceG5485, not by 19foodsG1033, 20throughG1722 whichG3739 thoseG3588 who 21were soG4043 occupiedG4043 were not benefitedG5623. 10We haveG2192 an altarG2379 22from whichG3739 thoseG3588 23who serveG3000 the 24tabernacleG4633 haveG2192 noG3756 rightG1849 to eatG2068. 11For 25the bodiesG4983 of thoseG3778 animalsG2226 whoseG3739 bloodG129 is broughtG1533 into the HolyG40 PlaceG40 by the highG749 priestG749 as an offering for sinG266 are burnedG2618 outsideG1854 the campG3925. 12ThereforeG1352 JesusG2424 alsoG2532 sufferedG3958 26outsideG1854 the gateG4439, 27that He might sanctifyG37 the peopleG2992 28throughG1223 His ownG2398 bloodG129. 13SoG5106 thenG5106, let us goG1831 outG1831 to Him outsideG1854 the campG3925, 29bearingG5342 His reproachG3680. 14For hereG5602 30we do not haveG2192 a lastingG3306 cityG4172, but we are seekingG1934 31the city which is toG3195 comeG3195.

God-pleasing Sacrifices

1532ThroughG1223 Him thenG3767, let’s continuallyG1223G3956 offerG399 upG399 a 33sacrificeG2378 of praiseG133 to GodG2316, that is, 34the fruitG2590 of lipsG5491 praisingG3670 His nameG3686. 16And do not neglectG1950 doingG2140 goodG2140 and 35sharingG2842, for 36with suchG5108 sacrificesG2378 GodG2316 is pleasedG2100.

1737ObeyG3982 your leadersG2233 and submitG5226 to them--for 38they keepG69 watchG69 overG5228 your soulsG5590 as those who will giveG591 an accountG3056--soG2443 thatG2443 they may doG4160 thisG3778 with joyG5479, not 39groaningG4727; for thisG3778 would be unhelpfulG255 for you.

1840PrayG4336 for us, for we areG3982 sureG3982 that we haveG2192 a 41goodG2570 conscienceG4893, desiringG2309 to conductG390 ourselves honorablyG2573 in allG3956 thingsG3956. 19And I urgeG3870 you allG4056 theG4056 moreG4056 to doG4160 thisG3778, 42soG2443 thatG2443 I may be restoredG600 to you moreG5036 quicklyG5036.

Benediction

20NowG1161 may 43the GodG2316 of peaceG1515, who 44broughtG321 upG321 from the deadG3498 the 45greatG3173 ShepherdG4166 of the sheepG4263 46throughG1722 47the bloodG129 of the 48eternalG166 covenantG1242, that is, JesusG2424 our LordG2962, 2149equipG2675 you in everyG3956 goodG18 thingG18 to doG4160 His willG2307, 50workingG4160 in us that 51which is pleasingG2101 inG1799 His sightG1799, throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 52to whomG3739 be the gloryG1391 foreverG165 and everG165. AmenG281.

22But 53I urgeG3870 you, 54brothersG80 and sisters, 55listenG430 patientlyG430 to 56thisG3588 57wordG3056 of exhortationG3874, for 58I have writtenG1989 to you brieflyG1223G1024. 23KnowG1097 that 59our brotherG80 TimothyG5095 has been releasedG630, with whomG3739, ifG1437 he comesG2064 soonG5036, I will seeG3708 you. 24GreetG782 60allG3956 of your leadersG2233 and allG3956 the 6162saintsG40. ThoseG3588 from 63ItalyG2482 greetG782 you.

2564GraceG5485 be with you allG3956.
