1. Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters.
|
1. Let brotherly love G5360 continue G3306 .
|
|
2. Remember to welcome strangers, because some who have done this have welcomed angels without knowing it.
|
2. Be not forgetful G1950 G3361 to entertain strangers G5381 : for G1063 thereby G1223 G5026 some G5100 have entertained G3579 angels G32 unawares G2990 .
|
|
3. Remember those who are in prison as if you were in prison with them. Remember those who are suffering as if you were suffering with them.
|
3. Remember G3403 them that are in bonds G1198 , as G5613 bound with G4887 them; and them which suffer adversity G2558 , as G5613 being G5607 yourselves G848 also G2532 in G1722 the body G4983 .
|
|
4. Marriage should be honored by everyone, and husband and wife should keep their marriage pure. God will judge as guilty those who take part in sexual sins.
|
4. Marriage G1062 is honorable G5093 in G1722 all G3956 , and G2532 the G3588 bed G2845 undefiled G283 : but G1161 whoremongers G4205 and G2532 adulterers G3432 God G2316 will judge G2919 .
|
|
5. Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be satisfied with what you have. God has said, "I will never leave you; I will never forget you."
|
5. Let your conversation G5158 be without covetousness G866 ; and be content G714 with such things as ye have G3918 : for G1063 he G846 hath said G2046 , I will never G3364 leave G447 thee G4571 , nor G3761 forsake G1459 thee G4571 .
|
|
6. So we can be sure when we say, "I will not be afraid, because the Lord is my helper. People can't do anything to me."
|
6. So that G5620 we G2248 may boldly G2292 say G3004 , The Lord G2962 is my G1698 helper G998 , and G2532 I will not G3756 fear G5399 what G5101 man G444 shall do G4160 unto me G3427 .
|
|
7. Remember your leaders who taught God's message to you. Remember how they lived and died, and copy their faith.
|
7. Remember G3421 them which have the rule over G2233 you G5216 , who G3748 have spoken G2980 unto you G5213 the G3588 word G3056 of God G2316 : whose G3739 faith G4102 follow G3401 , considering G333 the G3588 end G1545 of their conversation G391 .
|
|
8. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
|
8. Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 the G3588 same G846 yesterday G5504 , and G2532 today G4594 , and G2532 forever G1519 G165 .
|
|
9. Do not let all kinds of strange teachings lead you into the wrong way. Your hearts should be strengthened by God's grace, not by obeying rules about foods, which do not help those who obey them.
|
9. Be not G3361 carried about G4064 with divers G4164 and G2532 strange G3581 doctrines G1322 . For G1063 it is a good thing G2570 that the G3588 heart G2588 be established G950 with grace G5485 ; not G3756 with meats G1033 , which G3739 have not G3756 profited G5623 them that have been occupied therein G4043 .
|
|
10. We have a sacrifice, but the priests who serve in the Holy Tent cannot eat from it.
|
10. We have G2192 an altar G2379 , whereof G1537 G3739 they have G2192 no G3756 right G1849 to eat G5315 which serve G3000 the G3588 tabernacle G4633 .
|
|
11. The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place where he offers this blood for sins. But the bodies of the animals are burned outside the camp.
|
11. For G1063 the G3588 bodies G4983 of those G5130 beasts G2226 , whose G3739 blood G129 is brought G1533 into G1519 the G3588 sanctuary G39 by G1223 the G3588 high priest G749 for G4012 sin G266 , are burned G2618 without G1854 the G3588 camp G3925 .
|
|
12. So Jesus also suffered outside the city to make his people holy with his own blood.
|
12. Wherefore G1352 Jesus G2424 also G2532 , that G2443 he might sanctify G37 the G3588 people G2992 with G1223 his own G2398 blood G129 , suffered G3958 without G1854 the G3588 gate G4439 .
|
|
13. So let us go to Jesus outside the camp, holding on as he did when we are abused.
|
13. Let us go forth G1831 therefore G5106 unto G4314 him G846 without G1854 the G3588 camp G3925 , bearing G5342 his G846 reproach G3680 .
|
|
14. Here on earth we do not have a city that lasts forever, but we are looking for the city that we will have in the future.
|
14. For G1063 here G5602 have G2192 we no G3756 continuing G3306 city G4172 , but G235 we seek G1934 one to come G3195 .
|
|
15. So through Jesus let us always offer to God our sacrifice of praise, coming from lips that speak his name.
|
15. By G1223 him G846 therefore G3767 let us offer G399 the sacrifice G2378 of praise G133 to God G2316 continually G1275 , that is G5123 , the fruit G2590 of our lips G5491 giving thanks G3670 to his G846 name G3686 .
|
|
16. Do not forget to do good to others, and share with them, because such sacrifices please God.
|
16. But G1161 to do good G2140 and G2532 to communicate G2842 forget G1950 not G3361 : for G1063 with such G5108 sacrifices G2378 God G2316 is well pleased G2100 .
|
|
17. Obey your leaders and act under their authority. They are watching over you, because they are responsible for your souls. Obey them so that they will do this work with joy, not sadness. It will not help you to make their work hard.
|
17. Obey G3982 them that have the rule over G2233 you G5216 , and G2532 submit G5226 yourselves: for G1063 they G846 watch G69 for G5228 your G5216 souls G5590 , as G5613 they that must give G591 account G3056 , that G2443 they may do G4160 it G5124 with G3326 joy G5479 , and G2532 not G3361 with grief G4727 : for G1063 that G5124 is unprofitable G255 for you G5213 .
|
|
18. Pray for us. We are sure that we have a clear conscience, because we always want to do the right thing.
|
18. Pray G4336 for G4012 us G2257 : for G1063 we trust G3982 we G3754 have G2192 a good G2570 conscience G4893 , in G1722 all things G3956 willing G2309 to live honestly G390 G2573 .
|
|
19. I especially beg you to pray so that God will send me back to you soon.
|
19. But G1161 I beseech G3870 you the rather G4056 to do G4160 this G5124 , that G2443 I may be restored G600 to you G5213 the sooner G5032 .
