Let brotherly love continue.
Do not neglect hospitality, for through this, some have shown hospitality to angels without knowing {it}. \*
Remember the prisoners, as having been bound with {them}, {and} the ones being mistreated, as yourselves also being in body.
Marriage {must be} honorable among all, and the marriage bed pure, for God will judge sexually immoral {people} and adulterers. \*
Your manner of life {must be} free from the love of money, being content {with} the things being present, for he himself has said, “I will never leave you, nor never will I forsake you,”
so that, being confident, we say, “The Lord {is} my helper, and I will not become afraid. What will a man do to me?” \*
Remember your leaders, who spoke the Word of God to you, of whom considering the outcome of their conduct, imitate their faith.
Jesus Christ {is} the same yesterday and today and forever. \*
Do not be carried away by various and strange teachings. For {it is} good {for} the heart to be confirmed by grace, not by foods with which the ones walking {in them} were not benefitted.
We have an altar from which the ones serving in the tabernacle have no authority to eat.
For the blood of which animals is brought on behalf of sin by the high priest into the holy {places}, {but} the bodies of these {animals} are burned up outside the camp. \*
So Jesus also suffered outside the gate, so that he might sanctify the people through his own blood.
Let us therefore go to him outside the camp, bearing his reproach.
For we do not have a lasting city here, but we are seeking the one coming. \*
Through him, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips acknowledging his name.
But let us not neglect the doing of good and sharing, for God is well-pleased with such sacrifices.
Obey your leaders and submit {to them}, for they keep watch over your souls, as ones {who} will give account, in order that they might do this with joy and not {with} groaning, for this {would be} unprofitable to you. \*
Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to conduct ourselves honorably in all things.
But I encourage {you} even more to do this, so that I will be restored to you soon. \*
Now the God of peace, the one having brought up from the dead ones the great shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Jesus, by the blood of the eternal covenant,
may he prepare you in every thing good to do his will, working in us {what} {is} well-pleasing before him, through Jesus Christ, to whom {be} the glory forever {and} ever. Amen. \*
Now I encourage you, brothers, bear with the word of exhortation, for only through a few {words} I have written to you.
Know that our brother Timothy has been set free, with whom I will see you if he comes soon. \*
Greet all your leaders and all the saints. The ones from Italy greet you.
Grace {be} with all of you.
