Hebrews 13 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

The Changeless Christ

1 Let love ^G5360 of ^G5360 the ^G5360 brothers ^G5360 and sisters ^G5360 continue ^G3306.

2 Do not neglect ^G1950 hospitality ^G5381 to ^G5381 strangers ^G5381, for by this ^G3778 some ^G5100 have entertained ^G3579 angels ^G32 without ^G2990 knowing ^G2990 it. 3 Remember ^G3403 the prisoners ^G1198, as ^G5613 though ^G5613 in prison ^G4887 with them, and those ^G3588 who are badly ^G2558 treated ^G2558, since ^G5613 you yourselves ^G846 also ^G2532 are in the body ^G4983. 4 Marriage ^G1062 is to be held in honor ^G5093 among ^G1722 all ^G3956, and the marriage bed ^G2845 is to be undefiled ^G283; for God ^G2316 will judge ^G2919 the sexually ^G4205 immoral ^G4205 and adulterers ^G3432. 5 Make sure that your character ^G5158 is free ^G866 from ^G866 the ^G866 love ^G866 of ^G866 money ^G866, being content ^G714 with what you have ^G3918; for He Himself ^G846 has said ^G3004, “I WILL NEVER ^G3756 G3361 DESERT ^G447 YOU, NOR ^G3761 WILL I EVER ^G3756 G3361 ABANDON ^G1459 YOU,” 6 so ^G5620 that ^G5620 we confidently ^G2292 say ^G3004,

“THE LORD ^G2962 IS MY HELPER ^G998, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID ^G5399.

WHAT ^G5101 WILL MAN ^G444 DO ^G4160 TO ME?”

7 Remember ^G3421 those ^G3588 who led ^G2233 you, who ^G3748 spoke ^G2980 the word ^G3056 of God ^G2316 to you; and considering ^G333 the [fn]result ^G1545 of their way ^G391 of ^G391 life ^G391, imitate ^G3401 their faith ^G4102. 8 Jesus ^G2424 Christ ^G5547 is the same ^G846 yesterday ^G5504 and today ^G4594, and forever ^G165. 9 Do not be misled ^G3911 by varied ^G4164 and strange ^G3581 teachings ^G1322; for it is good ^G2570 for the heart ^G2588 to be strengthened ^G950 by grace ^G5485, not by foods ^G1033, through ^G1722 which ^G3739 those ^G3588 who [fn]were so ^G4043 occupied ^G4043 were not benefited ^G5623. 10 We have ^G2192 an altar ^G2379 from which ^G3739 those ^G3588 who serve ^G3000 the [fn]tabernacle ^G4633 have ^G2192 no ^G3756 right ^G1849 to eat ^G2068. 11 For the bodies ^G4983 of those ^G3778 animals ^G2226 whose ^G3739 blood ^G129 is brought ^G1533 into the Holy ^G40 Place ^G40 by the high ^G749 priest ^G749 as an offering for sin ^G266 are burned ^G2618 outside ^G1854 the camp ^G3925. 12 Therefore ^G1352 Jesus ^G2424 also ^G2532 suffered ^G3958 outside ^G1854 the gate ^G4439, that He might sanctify ^G37 the people ^G2992 through ^G1223 His own ^G2398 blood ^G129. 13 So ^G5106 then ^G5106, let us go ^G1831 out ^G1831 to Him outside ^G1854 the camp ^G3925, bearing ^G5342 His reproach ^G3680. 14 For here ^G5602 we do not have ^G2192 a lasting ^G3306 city ^G4172, but we are seeking ^G1934 the city which is to ^G3195 come ^G3195.

God-pleasing Sacrifices

15 Through ^G1223 Him then ^G3767, let’s continually ^G1223 G3956 offer ^G399 up ^G399 a sacrifice ^G2378 of praise ^G133 to God ^G2316, that is, the fruit ^G2590 of lips ^G5491 praising ^G3670 His name ^G3686. 16 And do not neglect ^G1950 doing ^G2140 good ^G2140 and sharing ^G2842, for with such ^G5108 sacrifices ^G2378 God ^G2316 is pleased ^G2100.

17 Obey ^G3982 your leaders ^G2233 and submit ^G5226 to them—for they keep ^G69 watch ^G69 over ^G5228 your souls ^G5590 as those who will give ^G591 an account ^G3056—so ^G2443 that ^G2443 they may do ^G4160 this ^G3778 with joy ^G5479, not [fn]groaning ^G4727; for this ^G3778 would be unhelpful ^G255 for you.

18 Pray ^G4336 for us, for we are ^G3982 sure ^G3982 that we have ^G2192 a good ^G2570 conscience ^G4893, desiring ^G2309 to conduct ^G390 ourselves honorably ^G2573 in all ^G3956 things ^G3956. 19 And I urge ^G3870 you all ^G4056 the ^G4056 more ^G4056 to do ^G4160 this ^G3778, so ^G2443 that ^G2443 I may be restored ^G600 to you more ^G5036 quickly ^G5036.

Benediction

20 Now ^G1161 may the God ^G2316 of peace ^G1515, who brought ^G321 up ^G321 from the dead ^G3498 the great ^G3173 Shepherd ^G4166 of the sheep ^G4263 [fn]through ^G1722 the blood ^G129 of the eternal ^G166 covenant ^G1242, that is, Jesus ^G2424 our Lord ^G2962,

21 equip ^G2675 you in every ^G3956 good ^G18 thing ^G18 to do ^G4160 His will ^G2307, working ^G4160 in us that which is pleasing ^G2101 in ^G1799 His sight ^G1799, through ^G1223 Jesus ^G2424 Christ ^G5547, to whom ^G3739 be the glory ^G1391 forever ^G165 and ever ^G165. Amen ^G281.

22 But I urge ^G3870 you, brothers ^G80 and sisters, [fn]listen ^G430 patiently ^G430 to [fn]this ^G3588 word ^G3056 of exhortation ^G3874, for I have written ^G1989 to you briefly ^G1223 G1024. 23 Know ^G1097 that our brother ^G80 Timothy ^G5095 has been released ^G630, with whom ^G3739, if ^G1437 he comes ^G2064 soon ^G5036, I will see ^G3708 you. 24 Greet ^G782 all ^G3956 of your leaders ^G2233 and all ^G3956 the [fn]saints ^G40. Those ^G3588 from Italy ^G2482 greet ^G782 you.

25 Grace ^G5485 be with you all ^G3956.
