“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.” |
