Hebrews 13

Let brotherly love continue. ²Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it. ³Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body. ⁴Let marriage be held in honour by all, and let the bed be undefiled: but Allah will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

⁵Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."[1] ⁶So that with good courage we say,

"Allah is my helper. I will not be afraid.

What can man do to me?"[2]

⁷Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of Allah, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith. ⁸'Isa al-Masih is the same yesterday, today, and forever. ⁹Do not be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by food, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

¹⁰We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat. ¹¹For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside of the camp. ¹²Therefore 'Isa also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate. ¹³Let us therefore go forth to him outside of the camp, bearing his reproach. ¹⁴For we do not have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come. ¹⁵Through him, then, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to Allah continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to his name. ¹⁶But do not forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices Allah is well pleased.

¹⁷Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch over your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy, and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.

¹⁸Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honourably in all things. ¹⁹I strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you sooner.

²⁰Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, our Lord 'Isa, ²¹make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through 'Isa al-Masih, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

²²But I exhort you, brothers, endure the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words. ²³Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you. ²⁴Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you. ²⁵Grace be with you all. Amen.
