Hebrews 13

The Message Bible MSG

1 Stay on good terms with each other, held together by love.

2 Be ready with a meal or a bed when it's needed. Why, some have extended hospitality to angels without ever knowing it!

3 Regard prisoners as if you were in prison with them. Look on victims of abuse as if what happened to them had happened to you.

4 Honor marriage, and guard the sacredness of sexual intimacy between wife and husband. God draws a firm line against casual and illicit sex.

5 Don't be obsessed with getting more material things. Be relaxed with what you have. Since God assured us, "I'll never let you down, never walk off and leave you,"

6 we can boldly quote, God is there, ready to help; I'm fearless no matter what. Who or what can get to me?

7 Appreciate your pastoral leaders who gave you the Word of God. Take a good look at the way they live, and let their faithfulness instruct you, as well as their truthfulness. There should be a consistency that runs through us all.

8 For Jesus doesn't change - yesterday, today, tomorrow, he's always totally himself.

9 Don't be lured away from him by the latest speculations about him. The grace of Christ is the only good ground for life. Products named after Christ don't seem to do much for those who buy them.

10 The altar from which God gives us the gift of himself is not for exploitation by insiders who grab and loot.

11 In the old system, the animals are killed and the bodies disposed of outside the camp. The blood is then brought inside to the altar as a sacrifice for sin.

12 It's the same with Jesus. He was crucified outside the city gates - that is where he poured out the sacrificial blood that was brought to God's altar to cleanse his people.

13 So let's go outside, where Jesus is, where the action is - not trying to be privileged insiders, but taking our share in the abuse of Jesus.

14 This "insider world" is not our home. We have our eyes peeled for the City about to come.

15 Let's take our place outside with Jesus, no longer pouring out the sacrificial blood of animals but pouring out sacrificial praises from our lips to God in Jesus' name.

16 Make sure you don't take things for granted and go slack in working for the common good; share what you have with others. God takes particular pleasure in acts of worship - a different kind of "sacrifice" - that take place in kitchen and workplace and on the streets.

17 Be responsive to your pastoral leaders. Listen to their counsel. They are alert to the condition of your lives and work under the strict supervision of God. Contribute to the joy of their leadership, not its drudgery. Why would you want to make things harder for them?

18 Pray for us. We have no doubts about what we're doing or why, but it's hard going and we need your prayers. All we care about is living well before God.

19 Pray that we may be together soon.

20 May God, who puts all things together, makes all things whole, Who made a lasting mark through the sacrifice of Jesus, the sacrifice of blood that sealed the eternal covenant, Who led Jesus, our Great Shepherd, up and alive from the dead,

21 Now put you together, provide you with everything you need to please him, Make us into what gives him most pleasure, by means of the sacrifice of Jesus, the Messiah. All glory to Jesus forever and always! Oh, yes, yes, yes.

22 Friends, please take what I've written most seriously. I've kept this as brief as possible; I haven't piled on a lot of extras.

23 You'll be glad to know that Timothy has been let out of prison. If he leaves soon, I'll come with him and get to see you myself.

24 Say hello to your pastoral leaders and all the congregations. Everyone here in Italy wants to be remembered to you.

25 Grace be with you, every one.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 caritas fraternitatis maneat

2 hospitalitatem nolite oblivisci per hanc enim latuerunt quidam angelis hospitio receptis

3 mementote vinctorum tamquam simul vincti et laborantium tamquam et ipsi in corpore morantes

4 honorabile conubium in omnibus et torus inmaculatus fornicatores enim et adulteros iudicabit Deus

5 sint mores sine avaritia contenti praesentibus ipse enim dixit non te deseram neque derelinquam

6 ita ut confidenter dicamus Dominus mihi adiutor non timebo quid faciat mihi homo

7 mementote praepositorum vestrorum qui vobis locuti sunt verbum Dei quorum intuentes exitum conversationis imitamini fidem

8 Iesus Christus heri et hodie ipse et in saecula

9 doctrinis variis et peregrinis nolite abduci optimum enim est gratia stabiliri cor non escis quae non profuerunt ambulantibus in eis

10 habemus altare de quo edere non habent potestatem qui tabernaculo deserviunt

11 quorum enim animalium infertur sanguis pro peccato in sancta per pontificem horum corpora cremantur extra castra

12 propter quod et Iesus ut sanctificaret per suum sanguinem populum extra portam passus est

13 exeamus igitur ad eum extra castra inproperium eius portantes

14 non enim habemus hic manentem civitatem sed futuram inquirimus

15 per ipsum ergo offeramus hostiam laudis semper Deo id est fructum labiorum confitentium nomini eius

16 beneficientiae autem et communionis nolite oblivisci talibus enim hostiis promeretur Deus

17 oboedite praepositis vestris et subiacete eis ipsi enim pervigilant quasi rationem pro animabus vestris reddituri ut cum gaudio hoc faciant et non gementes hoc enim non expedit vobis

18 orate pro nobis confidimus enim quia bonam conscientiam habemus in omnibus bene volentes conversari

19 amplius autem deprecor vos hoc facere ut quo celerius restituar vobis

20 Deus autem pacis qui eduxit de mortuis pastorem magnum ovium in sanguine testamenti aeterni Dominum nostrum Iesum

21 aptet vos in omni bono ut faciatis voluntatem eius faciens in vobis quod placeat coram se per Iesum Christum cui gloria in saecula saeculorum amen

22 rogo autem vos fratres sufferatis verbum solacii etenim perpaucis scripsi vobis

23 cognoscite fratrem nostrum Timotheum dimissum cum quo si celerius venerit videbo vos

24 salutate omnes praepositos vestros et omnes sanctos salutant vos de Italia

25 gratia cum omnibus vobis amen
