| 1: Let brotherly love continue. |
| |
| 2: Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have
entertained angels unawares. |
| |
| 3:
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them
which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. |
| |
| 4: Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but
whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. |
| |
| 5: Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content
with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee,
nor forsake thee. |
| |
| 6: So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will
not fear what man shall do unto me. |
| |
| 7: Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken
unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of
their conversation. |
| |
| 8: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
|
| |
| 9: Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it
is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with
meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
|
| |
| 10: We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which
serve the tabernacle. |
| |
| 11: For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into
the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
|
| |
| 12: Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with
his own blood, suffered without the gate. |
| |
| 13: Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing
his reproach. |
| |
| 14: For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
|
| |
| 15: By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God
continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
|
| |
| 16: But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such
sacrifices God is well pleased. |
| |
| 17: Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves:
for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they
may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for
you. |
| |
| 18: Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all
things willing to live honestly. |
| |
| 19: But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be
restored to you the sooner. |
| |
| 20: Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our
Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the
everlasting covenant, |
| |
| 21: Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working
in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to
whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. |
| |
| 22: And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation:
for I have written a letter unto you in few words. |
| |
| 23: Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with
whom, if he come shortly, I will see you. |
| |
| 24: Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the
saints. They of Italy salute you. |
| |
| 25: Grace be with you all. Amen. |
