Let
brotherly love continue.
02 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for
thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
03 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with
them; and them which suffer adversity, as being
yourselves also in the body.
04 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed
undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God
will judge.
05 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.
06 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my
helper, and I will not fear what man shall do
unto me.
07 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.
08 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day,
and for ever.
09 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.
