1 Let brotherly love continue. Let brotherly love continue. Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.
2 Stop neglecting to show hospitality to strangers, for by showing hospitality some have had angels as their guests without being aware of it. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.
3 Continue to remember those in prison as if you were in prison with them, as well as those who are mistreated, since they also are only mortal. Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body. Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
4 Let marriage be kept honorable in every way, and the marriage bed undefiled. For God will judge those who commit sexual sins, especially those who commit adultery. Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
5 Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have, for God has said, |I will never leave you or abandon you.| Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
6 Hence we can confidently say, |The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?| So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”
7 Remember your leaders, those who have spoken God's word to you. Think about the impact of their lives, and imitate their faith. Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.
8 Jesus, the Messiah, is the same yesterday and today—and forever! Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
9 Stop being carried away by all kinds of unusual teachings, for it is good that the heart be strengthened by grace, not by food laws that have never helped those who follow them. Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them. Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods, which is of no benefit to those who do so.
10 We have an altar, and those who serve in the tent have no right to eat at it. We have an altar from which those who serve the tent have no right to eat. We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle have no right to eat.
11 For the bodies of animals, whose blood is taken into the sanctuary by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp. For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp. The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp.
12 That is why Jesus, in order to sanctify the people by his own blood, also suffered outside the city gate. So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood.
13 Therefore go to him outside the camp and endure the insults he endured. Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured. Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.
14 For here we have no permanent city but are looking for the one that is coming. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.
15 Therefore, through him let us always bring God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of our lips that confess his name. Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.
16 Do not neglect to do good and to be generous, for God is pleased with such sacrifices. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
17 Continue to follow and be submissive to your leaders, since they are watching over your souls as those who will have to give a word of explanation. By doing this, you will be letting them carry out their duties joyfully, and not with grief, for that would be harmful for you. Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you. Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.
18 Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.

Amen. equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
22 I urge you, brothers, to listen patiently to my encouraging message, for I have written you a short letter. I appeal to you, brothers, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly. Brothers and sisters, I urge you to bear with my word of exhortation, for in fact I have written to you quite briefly.

If he arrives soon, I will come with him to see you.
