Iḇ`rim (Hebrews) 13

¹Let the brotherly love continue.

²Do not forget to receive strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained messengers.

³Remember the prisoners as if chained with them, and those being mistreated, since you yourselves also are in the body.

⁴Let marriage be respected by all, and the bed be undefiled. But Elohim shall judge those who whore, and adulterers.

⁵Let your way of life be without the love of silver, and be satisfied with what you have. For He Himself has said, “I shall never leave you nor forsake you,”[#Implying money.; #Deu. 31:6]

⁶so that we boldly say, “יהוה is my helper, I shall not fear what man shall do to me.”[#Psa. 118:6]

⁷Remember those leading you, who spoke the Word of Elohim to you. Consider the outcome of their behaviour and imitate their belief.

⁸יהושע Messiah is the same yesterday, and today, and forever.

⁹Do not be borne about by various and strange teachings. For it is good for the heart to be established by favour, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.[#See Eph. 4:14]

¹⁰We have a slaughter-place from which those serving the Tent have no authority to eat.

¹¹For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the Set-apart Place by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp.

¹²And so יהושע also suffered outside the gate, to set apart the people with His own blood.

¹³Let us, then, go to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.

¹⁴For we have no lasting city here, but we seek the one coming.

¹⁵Through Him then, let us continually offer up a slaughter offering of praise to Elohim, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His Name.[#Or “bulls of our lips” – See Hosea 14:2]

¹⁶And do not forget to do good and to share, for with such slaughter offerings Elohim is well pleased.

¹⁷Obey those leading you, and be subject to them , for they watch for your lives, as having to give account. Let them do so with joy and not groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.

¹⁸Pray for us, for we trust that we have a good conscience, desiring to behave well in every way.

¹⁹But I particularly encourage you to do this, that I might be restored to you the sooner.

²⁰And the Elohim of peace who brought up our Master יהושע from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

²¹make you perfect in every good work to do His desire, working in you what is pleasing in His sight, through יהושע Messiah, to whom be esteem forever and ever. Amĕn.[#See Mat. 5:48; #See Gal. 2:20; Philip. 2:13]

²²And I call upon you, brothers, bear with the word of encouragement for I have written to you in few words.

²³Know that brother Timotiyos has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes shortly.

²⁴Greet all those leading you, and all the set-apart ones. Those from Italy greet you.

²⁵Favour be with you all. Amĕn.
