          DASV: Hebrews 13    

1 Let brotherly love continue. 2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing
this some have entertained angels without being aware of it.
3 Remember those who are in prison, as if you were imprisoned
with them and those who are mistreated, as if you yourselves
felt their pain.
4 Let marriage be held in honor by all, and the marriage bed
undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
5 Be free from the love of money; be content with what you have,
for he has said, "I will never leave you or forsake you."
6 So we can say with confidence,
     "The Lord is my helper;
           I will not be afraid.
                What can man do to me?"
7 Remember those who rule over you and those who spoke the word
of God to you. Think about the impact of their lives and imitate
their faith.
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
9 Do not be swept away by all kinds of strange teachings.
For it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace; not
by rules about food, which is of little benefit to those who
keep them.
10 We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle
have no right to eat.
11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought
into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin,
are burned outside the camp.
12 So too Jesus, that he might make the people holy through his
own blood, suffered outside the city gate.
13 Let us then go to him outside the camp, bearing the abuse he
suffered.
14 For we do not have here a permanent city, but we are seeking
a city that is to come.
15 Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice
of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess
his name.
16 But do not neglect to do good and to share with the needy,
for God is pleased with such sacrifices.
17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch
over your life, and they will give account for what they do.
Let them do this with joy and not grief for that would not
be beneficial to you.
18 Pray for us, for we are confident that we have a good
conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.
19 I especially encourage you to pray that I may be restored
to you very soon.

20 Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead
our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep by the
blood of an eternal covenant,
21 equip you with every good thing to do his will, working
in us what is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ;
to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

22 But I urge you, brothers, bear with my word of exhortation,
for I have written to you briefly.
23 You should know that our brother Timothy has been set free;
if he comes shortly, he will be with me when I see you.
24 Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those who are
from Italy send you their greetings.
25 Grace be with you all.
