Leave religion and embrace godliness

Heb 13:1–19

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 are in prison—help them as if you all were in prison with them. Also, help those who are 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 are sexually immoral.

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

“I’ll never leave you;

Indeed I’ll never abandon you.”[ref]

6 So in turn, we can confidently say:

“Yahweh is my helper,

so I won’t be afraid.

What can mere people do to me?”[ref]

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 (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) 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[ref] 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.

Gen 18:1-8:

18 Then one day Yahweh appeared again to Avraham at the oak trees on Mamre’s land, while Avraham was sitting at the entrance of his tent during the hottest part of the day. 2 Avraham looked up and was surprised to see three men standing a short distance away. He ran from the tent opening to meet them and bowed respectfully,[ref] 3 and said, “My masters, if I’ve found favour in your eyes, please don’t just carry on past your slave. 4 Let me get some water so that you can wash your feet and rest here under this tree. 5 I’ll go and get some food so that you can refresh yourselves before you leave, since you’ve come to your slave.”

“Alright, do as you have said,” they answered.

6 So Avraham hurried into the tent and told Sarah, “Quickly, grind three measures of fine flour and knead it and make some bread.” 7 He ran to the herd and selected a tender and choice calf and took it to a slave who hurried to prepare it. 8 Then he took yogurt and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and he set the meal down in front of the visitors, standing there under the tree by them while they ate.

19:1-3:

19 So the two messengers arrived at Sedom in the evening, and Lot was sitting at the city gate. When Lot saw them, he got up to meet them and knelt down in front of them with his face to the ground. 2 Then he said, “Listen, my masters: Come with me to your slave’s home and wash your feet and stay the night. Then you can get up early and continue on your way.”

But they said, “No, rather we’ll just spend the night in the street.” 3 However, Lot insisted, so they followed him off the main road and went into his house. Then he prepared a feast for them and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.

16:27: Heb 13:11.

Yhn 19:17-20:

17 Carrying the pole[fn] himself, Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) arrived at the Place of the Skull (called Golgotha in Hebrew) just out of the city 18 where they secured him to a tall post along with two others—one post on each side and with Yeshua on the middle one. 19 Pilatos (Pilate) wrote out a title and put it on the post: Yeshua from Nazaret, the king of the Yehudim (Jews). 20 Many Yehudim read this title because the place where Yeshua was executed was near the city, and it had been written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

19:17 TD: The Greek word used here is used in other places to mean a stake such as used to make a pallisade fence. It’s uncertain whether or not it had a horizontal cross-piece, although the Romans did use a range of methods.
