Hebrews 13

New Revised Standard NRS

1 Let mutual love continue.

2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.

3 Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them; those who are being tortured, as though you yourselves were being tortured.

4 Let marriage be held in honor by all, and let the marriage bed be kept undefiled; for God will judge fornicators and adulterers.

5 Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, "I will never leave you or forsake you."

6 So we can say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?"

7 Remember your leaders, those who spoke the word of God to you; consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith.

8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings; for it is well for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by regulations about food, which have not benefited those who observe them.

10 We have an altar from which those who officiate in the tent have no right to eat.

11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp.

12 Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the city gate in order to sanctify the people by his own blood.

13 Let us then go to him outside the camp and bear the abuse he endured.

14 For here we have no lasting city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.

15 Through him, then, let us continually offer a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name.

16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls and will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with sighing—for that would be harmful to you.

18 Pray for us; we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things.

19 I urge you all the more to do this, so that I may be restored to you very soon.

20 Now may the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant,

21 make you complete in everything good so that you may do his will, working among us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

22 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.

23 I want you to know that our brother Timothy has been set free; and if he comes in time, he will be with me when I see you.

24 Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy send you greetings.

25 Grace be with all of you.

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Go on loving your brothers in the faith.

2 Take care to keep open house: because in this way some have had angels as their guests, without being conscious of it.

3 Keep in mind those who are in chains, as if you were chained with them, and those who are in trouble, as being yourselves in the body.

4 Let married life be honoured among all of you and not made unclean; for men untrue in married life will be judged by God.

5 Be free from the love of money and pleased with the things which you have; for he himself has said, I will be with you at all times.

6 So that we say with a good heart, The Lord is my helper; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?

7 Keep in mind those who were over you, and who gave you the word of God; seeing the outcome of their way of life, let your faith be like theirs.

8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever.

9 Do not be turned away by different strange teachings, because it is good for your hearts to be made strong by grace, and not by meats, which were of no profit to those who took so much trouble over them.

10 We have an altar from which those priests who are servants in the Tent may not take food.

11 For the bodies of the beasts whose blood is taken into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin are burned outside the circle of the tents.

12 For this reason Jesus was put to death outside the walls, so that he might make the people holy by his blood.

13 Let us then go out to him outside the circle of the tents, taking his shame on ourselves.

14 For here we have no fixed resting-place, but our search is for the one which is to come.

15 Let us then make offerings of praise to God at all times through him, that is to say, the fruit of lips giving witness to his name.

16 But go on doing good and giving to others, because God is well-pleased with such offerings.

17 Give ear to those who are rulers over you, and do as they say: for they keep watch over your souls, ready to give an account of them; let them be able to do this with joy and not with grief, because that would be of no profit to you.

18 Make prayers for us, for we are certain that our hearts are free from the sense of sin, desiring the right way of life in all things.

19 I make this request more strongly, in the hope of coming back to you more quickly.

20 Now may the God of peace, who made that great keeper of his flock, even our Lord Jesus, come back from the dead through the blood of the eternal agreement,

21 Make you full of every good work and ready to do all his desires, working in us whatever is pleasing in his eyes through Jesus Christ; and may the glory be given to him for ever and ever. So be it.

22 But, brothers, take kindly the words which I have said for your profit; for I have not sent you a long letter.

23 Our brother Timothy has been let out of prison; and if he comes here in a short time, he and I will come to you together.

24 Give words of love from me to those who are rulers over you, and to all the saints. Those who are in Italy send you their love.

25 May grace be with you all.
