Завршне опомене

13 Нека братска љубав и даље влада међу вама. Не заборављајте гостољубивост, јер неки су, показујући је, и не знајући угостили анђеле. Сећајте се сужања као да сте с њима у оковима и злостављаних као да и ви страдате.

Нека сви поштују брак и нека брачна постеља буде неокаљана, јер Бог ће судити блудницима и прељубницима. Не будите среброљупци, него будите задовољни оним што имате. Јер, Бог је рекао:

»Никада те нећу напустити,
    никада те нећу оставити.«(A)

Зато с поуздањем можемо да кажемо:

»Бог ми је помагач, нећу се плашити.
    Шта ми може човек?«(B)

Сећајте се својих вођа, који су вам проповедали Божију реч. Посматрајте исход њиховог начина живота и угледајте се на њихову веру.

Исус Христос је исти и јуче и данас и довека.

Не дајте да вас заведу разна туђа учења. Јер, срце је добро учвршћивати милошћу, а не обредним јелима од којих нису имали користи они који су их јели.[a] 10 Ми имамо жртвеник са кога не смеју да једу они који служе у Шатору.

11 Првосвештеник у Светињу над светињама уноси крв животиња као жртву за грех, а њихова тела се спаљују ван табора. 12 Зато је и Исус, да би својом крвљу освештао народ, страдао ван градских капија. 13 Стога изађимо к њему ван табора и понесимо његову срамоту, 14 јер ми овде немамо трајан град, него тражимо онај будући. 15 Кроз њега, дакле, непрестано приносимо жртву захвалницу Богу, плод усана које исповедају његово име.

16 И не заборављајте да чините добро и да делите са другима, јер су такве жртве Богу миле. 17 Слушајте своје вође и покоравајте им се. Они бде над вашим душама као они који ће полагати рачун. Слушајте их, да би они то чинили с радошћу, а не уздишући, јер вам то не би било од користи.

18 Молите се за нас, јер смо уверени да имамо чисту савест и желимо да се у свему добро понашамо. 19 Нарочито вас молим да се молите да вам се што пре вратим.

20 А Бог мира, који је нашега Господа Исуса, великог Пастира оваца, крвљу вечног савеза извео из мртвих, 21 нека вас опреми сваким добром за извршавање његове воље и нека у нама чини оно што је њему мило, кроз Исуса Христа, коме слава довека.

22 Молим вас, браћо, да поднесете ову реч опомене, јер сам вам укратко написао.

23 Желим да знате да је наш брат Тимотеј ослобођен. Ако ускоро стигне, доћи ћу с њим да вас видим.

24 Поздравите све своје вође и све свете. Поздрављају вас сви из Италије.

25 Милост са свима вама.

Concluding Exhortations

13 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.(A) Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers,(B) for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.(C) Continue to remember those in prison(D) as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.

Marriage should be honored by all,(E) and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.(F) Keep your lives free from the love of money(G) and be content with what you have,(H) because God has said,

“Never will I leave you;
    never will I forsake you.”[a](I)

So we say with confidence,

“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
    What can mere mortals do to me?”[b](J)

Remember your leaders,(K) who spoke the word of God(L) to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate(M) their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.(N)

Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings.(O) It is good for our hearts to be strengthened(P) by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods,(Q) which is of no benefit to those who do so.(R) 10 We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle(S) have no right to eat.(T)

11 The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering,(U) but the bodies are burned outside the camp.(V) 12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate(W) to make the people holy(X) through his own blood.(Y) 13 Let us, then, go to him(Z) outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.(AA) 14 For here we do not have an enduring city,(AB) but we are looking for the city that is to come.(AC)

15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice(AD) of praise—the fruit of lips(AE) that openly profess his name. 16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others,(AF) for with such sacrifices(AG) God is pleased.

17 Have confidence in your leaders(AH) and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you(AI) 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.(AJ) We are sure that we have a clear conscience(AK) and desire to live honorably in every way. 19 I particularly urge you to pray so that I may be restored to you soon.(AL)

Benediction and Final Greetings

20 Now may the God of peace,(AM) who through the blood of the eternal covenant(AN) brought back from the dead(AO) our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,(AP) 21 equip you with everything good for doing his will,(AQ) and may he work in us(AR) what is pleasing to him,(AS) through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.(AT)

22 Brothers and sisters, I urge you to bear with my word of exhortation, for in fact I have written to you quite briefly.(AU)

23 I want you to know that our brother Timothy(AV) has been released. If he arrives soon, I will come with him to see you.

24 Greet all your leaders(AW) and all the Lord’s people. Those from Italy(AX) send you their greetings.

25 Grace be with you all.(AY)

13 Let brotherly love continue.

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

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.

So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

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.

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

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.
