The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 caritas fraternitatis maneat
1
Let brotherly love continue.
2 hospitalitatem nolite oblivisci per hanc enim latuerunt quidam angelis hospitio receptis
2
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.
3 mementote vinctorum tamquam simul vincti et laborantium tamquam et ipsi in corpore morantes
3
Remember the prisoners as if chained with them--those who are mistreated--since you yourselves are in the body also.
4 honorabile conubium in omnibus et torus inmaculatus fornicatores enim et adulteros iudicabit Deus
4
Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
5 sint mores sine avaritia contenti praesentibus ipse enim dixit non te deseram neque derelinquam
5
Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
6 ita ut confidenter dicamus Dominus mihi adiutor non timebo quid faciat mihi homo
6
So we may boldly say: "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"
7 mementote praepositorum vestrorum qui vobis locuti sunt verbum Dei quorum intuentes exitum conversationis imitamini fidem
7
Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct.
8 Iesus Christus heri et hodie ipse et in saecula
8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
9 doctrinis variis et peregrinis nolite abduci optimum enim est gratia stabiliri cor non escis quae non profuerunt ambulantibus in eis
9
Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.
10 habemus altare de quo edere non habent potestatem qui tabernaculo deserviunt
10
We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.
11 quorum enim animalium infertur sanguis pro peccato in sancta per pontificem horum corpora cremantur extra castra
11
For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp.
12 propter quod et Iesus ut sanctificaret per suum sanguinem populum extra portam passus est
12
Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.
13 exeamus igitur ad eum extra castra inproperium eius portantes
13
Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach.
14 non enim habemus hic manentem civitatem sed futuram inquirimus
14
For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come.
15 per ipsum ergo offeramus hostiam laudis semper Deo id est fructum labiorum confitentium nomini eius
15
Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.
16 beneficientiae autem et communionis nolite oblivisci talibus enim hostiis promeretur Deus
16
But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
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
17
Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.
18 orate pro nobis confidimus enim quia bonam conscientiam habemus in omnibus bene volentes conversari
18
Pray for us; for we are confident that we have a good conscience, in all things desiring to live honorably.
19 amplius autem deprecor vos hoc facere ut quo celerius restituar vobis
19
But I especially urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20 Deus autem pacis qui eduxit de mortuis pastorem magnum ovium in sanguine testamenti aeterni Dominum nostrum Iesum
20
Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
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
21
make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
22 rogo autem vos fratres sufferatis verbum solacii etenim perpaucis scripsi vobis
22
And I appeal to you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.
23 cognoscite fratrem nostrum Timotheum dimissum cum quo si celerius venerit videbo vos
23
Know that our brother Timothy has been set free, with whom I shall see you if he comes shortly.
24 salutate omnes praepositos vestros et omnes sanctos salutant vos de Italia
24
Greet all those who rule over you, and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.
25 gratia cum omnibus vobis amen
25
Grace be with you all. Amen.
