OET HEB chapter 13

Literal Version

13:1 Leave religion and embrace godliness

13 Continue to love your fellow believers. 2 Don’t be lax in showing hospitality to others, because some people who’ve been hospitable have actually hosted God’s messengers without even realising.[ref] 3 Don’t forget about those who’re in prison—help them as if you all were in prison with them. Also, help those who’re being mistreated because you, yourselves are human.

4 Marriage needs to be honoured by everyone and the marriage relationship kept pure, because God will judge adulterers and those who’re sexually immoral.

5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said:[ref]

“I’ll never leave you;

Indeed I’ll never abandon you.”

6 So in turn, we can confidently say:[ref]

“The master is my helper,

so I won’t be afraid.

What can mere people do to me?”

7 Don’t forget about your leaders who taught you all God’s message. Reflect on the outcome of their behaviour and imitate their faith. 8 Yeshua Messiah hasn’t changed in the past and will never change in the future. 9 Don’t be carried away by all sorts of new and novel teachings—God’s grace strengthens your faith, but beware of other teachings which won’t strengthen you all because the teachers don’t even practise what they preach. 10 We benefit from what Yeshua offered, but which others cannot benefit from despite their religious positions. 11 Although the high priest brings the blood of animals into the sacred chambers as a sacrifice for sin, the bodies of the animals are burnt outside the camp.[ref] 12 So too, Yeshua also suffered outside the city gate so that he could declare the people innocent by means of the price of his own blood, 13 therefore we should leave our religious sacrifices and rituals and share in his shame outside the system. 14 Yes, we don’t belong to any earthly city, but we wait for the new city that’s coming.

15 With Yeshua’s help, we should always be praising God as if we were presenting offerings to him. We do that when we say that we believe that Yeshua is God. 16 But on top of faith, we need to continue to do good and share what we have with others, because those are the kinds of sacrifices that please God.

17 Your leaders keep watch over your spiritual lives, knowing that they will have to give account to God for you, so obey them and yield to them so that they can fulfil their ministry cheerfully and without groaning, because that wouldn’t help you all either.

18 Also, please pray for us, because we believe that we have clear consciences and have conducted ourselves honourably in everything we’ve done, 19 and I especially urge you to pray that I might be able to return to be with you all soon.

13 The brotherly _love let _be _remaining.
2 The of _hospitality not be _forgetting, through for this, escaped _notice some having _lodged messengers.
3 Be _remembering of _the prisoners, as having _been _bound _with them, the ones being _mistreated as also yourselves being in the_body.
4 Honored is the wedding in all and the bed be undefiled, the_sexually _immoral for and adulterers will _be _judging the god.
5 Ungreedy your manner, being _sufficed with _the things being _present, because/for he has _said:
By _no _means not you I _may _give _up, nor by _no _means not you I _may _abandon.
6 So _as having _confidence us to _be _saying:
The_master is to _me helper, and not I _will _be _being _afraid, what will _be _doing to _me a_human?
7 Be _remembering about _the ones leading of _you _all, who spoke to _you _all the message of_ the _god, of _whom observing the outcome of _their conduct, be _imitating their faith.
8 Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen _one /messiah, yesterday and today, the same is, and to the ages.
9 By _teachings various and strange, not be _being _carried _away, because/for good it _is by _grace to _be _being _confirmed the heart, not with _foods, in which not were _benefited the ones walking.
10 We _are _having an_altar, from which to _eat not are _having the_right, the ones in _the tent serving.
11 For/Because of _what is _being _carried _in of _animals the blood for sin into the holy places by the chief _priest, of _these the bodies is _being _burned _up outside the camp.
12 Therefore also Yaʸsous, in _order _that he _may _sanctify by his own blood the people, outside the gate suffered.
13 So _now we _may _be _coming _out to him outside the camp, the derision of _him bearing.
14 For/Because not we _are _having here remaining a_city, but the city coming we _are _seeking _after.
15 Through him therefore we _may _be _offering _up the_sacrifice of _praise through everyone to_ the _god, this is the_fruit of_the_lips confessing to _the name of _him.
16 The and of_the_good _deed and of _fellowship not be _forgetting, because/for with _such sacrifices is _being _pleased the god.
17 Be _being _persuaded by _the ones leading of _you _all, and be _yielding, because/for they are _watching for the souls of _you _all, as an_account going _to _give _back, in _order _that with joy this they _may _be _doing, and not groaning, because/for unprofitable for _you _all this would _be.
18 Be _praying for us, because/for we _are _being _persuaded that a_good conscience we _are _having, in all things well wanting to _be _being _conducted.
19 And more _abundantly I _am _exhorting you this to _do, in _order _that more _quickly I _may _be _restored to _you _all.

13:20 Final words and blessing

20 Now may the God of peace, the one who brought the wonderful shepherd of the sheep back to life from the dead (by the blood that’s specified in the eternal agreement), our master Yeshua, 21 equip you all with everything good so that you can do what he desires—doing what will please him greatly through Yeshua Messiah, who will be honoured through all the ages. May it be so.

22 But brothers and sisters, I’m urging you all to tolerate my message of encouragement because I haven’t made it too long. 23 You all know our brother Timothy was released and if he comes here soon, I’ll be seeing you all.[fn]

24 Greet all your leaders for us, and all the believers. The Italians here also send their greetings.

25 May God’s grace be with all of you. May it be so.

13:23 Presumably the writer means that he and Timothy would travel together to Corinth once Timothy arrived at the writer’s location.

13:2: Gen 18:1-8; 19:1-3.

13:5: Deu 31:6,8; Jam 1:5.

13:6: Psa 118:6 (LXX).

13:11: Lev 16:27.

20 And the god of_ the _peace, the one having _brought _up from the_dead the Shepherd of _the sheep the great, by the_blood of_the_covenant eternal, the master of _us, Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa), 21 might _prepare you _all in every good thing, in _order that to _do the will of _him, doing in us what is well _pleasing before him, through Yaʸsous chosen _one /messiah, to _whom be the glory to the ages of _the ages.
Truly.
22 But I _am _exhorting you _all, brothers, be _tolerating of _my message of_ the _exhortation, because/for also through of _little I _wrote to _you _all.
23 You _all _are _knowing the brother of _us, Timotheos, having _been _sent _away, with whom if more _quickly he _may _be _coming, I _will _be _seeing you _all.
24 Greet all the ones leading of _you _all, and all the holy ones.
Are _greeting you _all the ones from the Italia.
25 The grace be with all of _you.
Truly.
