1 Continue|strong="G3306" loving each other as brothers and|strong="G3306" sisters in|strong="G3306" Christ.
2 Always|strong="G1223" remember to|strong="G5100" help people|strong="G3778" by|strong="G1223" welcoming them|strong="G3579" into|strong="G1223" your|strong="G1223" home. Some|strong="G5100" people|strong="G3778" have|strong="G5100" done that|strong="G3778" and|strong="G3778" have|strong="G5100" helped angels|strong="G0032" without|strong="G3361" knowing|strong="G2990" it|strong="G1223".
3 Don’t forget those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" are|strong="G1510" in|strong="G1722" prison|strong="G4887". Remember|strong="G3403" them|strong="G0846" as|strong="G5613" though|strong="G5613" you|strong="G1722" were|strong="G1510" in|strong="G1722" prison|strong="G4887" with|strong="G1722" them|strong="G0846". And|strong="G2532" don’t forget those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" are|strong="G1510" suffering|strong="G1722". Remember|strong="G3403" them|strong="G0846" as|strong="G5613" though|strong="G5613" you|strong="G1722" were|strong="G1510" suffering|strong="G1722" with|strong="G1722" them|strong="G0846".
4 Marriage|strong="G1062" should|strong="G2316" be|strong="G2532" honored by|strong="G1722" everyone|strong="G3956". And|strong="G2532" every|strong="G3956" marriage|strong="G1062" should|strong="G2316" be|strong="G2532" kept|strong="G3956" pure between|strong="G2532" husband and|strong="G2532" wife. God|strong="G2316" will|strong="G2316" judge|strong="G2919" guilty those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" commit sexual|strong="G2845" sins and|strong="G2532" adultery.
5 Keep|strong="G3361" your|strong="G3761" lives free|strong="G0866" from|strong="G3361" the|strong="G3588" love|strong="G0866" of|strong="G3004" money|strong="G0866". And|strong="G0846" be|strong="G3361" satisfied|strong="G0714" with|strong="G0846" what|strong="G3588" you|strong="G4771" have|strong="G3588". God|strong="G0846" has|strong="G3761" said|strong="G3004",
6 So|strong="G5620" we|strong="G2249" can|strong="G3004" feel sure and|strong="G2962" say|strong="G3004",
7 Remember|strong="G3421" your|strong="G4102" leaders|strong="G2233". They|strong="G3739" taught God’s|strong="G2316" message|strong="G3056" to|strong="G2980" you|strong="G5210". Remember|strong="G3421" how they|strong="G3739" lived and|strong="G2316" died, and|strong="G2316" copy their|strong="G3739" faith|strong="G4102".
8 Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547" is|strong="G3588" the|strong="G3588" same|strong="G0846" yesterday|strong="G5504", today|strong="G4594", and|strong="G2532" forever|strong="G0165".
9 Don’t|strong="G3756" let all|strong="G3588" kinds of|strong="G5485" strange|strong="G3581" teachings|strong="G1322" lead you|strong="G3739" into|strong="G1722" the|strong="G3588" wrong way|strong="G1722". Depend only|strong="G3756" on|strong="G1722" God’s grace|strong="G5485" for|strong="G1063" spiritual strength, not|strong="G3756" on|strong="G1722" rules about|strong="G1722" foods|strong="G1033". Obeying those|strong="G3588" rules doesn’t|strong="G3756" help|strong="G5623" anyone|strong="G3739".
10 We|strong="G3739" have|strong="G2192" a|strong="G2192" sacrifice. And|strong="G2068" those|strong="G3588" priests who|strong="G3739" serve|strong="G3000" in|strong="G1537" the|strong="G3588" Holy Tent|strong="G4633" cannot|strong="G3756" eat|strong="G2068" from|strong="G1537" the|strong="G3588" sacrifice we|strong="G3739" have|strong="G2192".
11 The|strong="G3588" high|strong="G0749" priest|strong="G0749" carries the|strong="G3588" blood|strong="G0129" of|strong="G1223" animals|strong="G2226" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G3588" Most|strong="G0040" Holy|strong="G0040" Place|strong="G0040" and|strong="G0749" offers that|strong="G3739" blood|strong="G0129" for|strong="G1063" sins|strong="G0266". But|strong="G1063" the|strong="G3588" bodies|strong="G4983" of|strong="G1223" those|strong="G3588" animals|strong="G2226" are|strong="G3778" burned|strong="G2618" outside|strong="G1854" the|strong="G3588" camp.
12 So|strong="G2443" Jesus|strong="G2424" also|strong="G2532" suffered|strong="G3958" outside|strong="G1854" the|strong="G3588" city. He|strong="G2532" died to|strong="G2443" make|strong="G0037" his|strong="G1223" people|strong="G2992" holy|strong="G0037" with|strong="G1223" his|strong="G1223" own|strong="G2398" blood|strong="G0129".
13 So|strong="G4314" we|strong="G3588" should go|strong="G1831" to|strong="G4314" Jesus|strong="G0846" outside|strong="G1854" the|strong="G3588" camp and|strong="G1831" accept the|strong="G3588" same|strong="G0846" shame that|strong="G0846" he|strong="G0846" had|strong="G3588".
14 Here|strong="G5602" on|strong="G4172" earth we|strong="G2192" don’t|strong="G3756" have|strong="G2192" a|strong="G2192" city|strong="G4172" that|strong="G2192" lasts forever. But|strong="G0235" we|strong="G2192" are|strong="G3588" waiting|strong="G3306" for|strong="G1063" the|strong="G3588" city|strong="G4172" that|strong="G2192" we|strong="G2192" will|strong="G3195" have|strong="G2192" in|strong="G3306" the|strong="G3588" future|strong="G3195".
15 So|strong="G3767" through|strong="G1223" Jesus|strong="G0846" we|strong="G3778" should|strong="G2316" never stop offering our|strong="G2316" sacrifice|strong="G2378" to|strong="G3778" God|strong="G2316". That|strong="G3778" sacrifice|strong="G2378" is|strong="G1510" our|strong="G2316" praise|strong="G0133", coming from|strong="G1223" lips|strong="G5491" that|strong="G3778" speak his|strong="G0846" name|strong="G3686".
16 And|strong="G2532" don’t|strong="G3361" forget|strong="G1950" to|strong="G2532" do|strong="G3361" good|strong="G2140" and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" share|strong="G2842" what|strong="G3588" you|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2532" with|strong="G2316" others|strong="G3588", because|strong="G1063" sacrifices|strong="G2378" like|strong="G5108" these|strong="G3588" are|strong="G3588" very|strong="G2532" pleasing|strong="G2100" to|strong="G2532" God|strong="G2316".
17 Obey|strong="G3982" your|strong="G4160" leaders|strong="G2233". Be|strong="G2532" willing to|strong="G2443" do|strong="G4160" what|strong="G3588" they|strong="G0846" say|strong="G3056". They|strong="G0846" are|strong="G3778" responsible for|strong="G1063" your|strong="G4160" spiritual welfare|strong="G3588", so|strong="G2443" they|strong="G0846" are|strong="G3778" always watching to|strong="G2443" protect you|strong="G5210". Obey|strong="G3982" them|strong="G0846" so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G2443" their|strong="G0846" work will|strong="G3778" give|strong="G0591" them|strong="G0846" joy|strong="G5479", not|strong="G3361" grief|strong="G4727". It|strong="G0846" won’t|strong="G3361" help you|strong="G5210" to|strong="G2443" make|strong="G4160" it|strong="G0846" hard for|strong="G1063" them|strong="G0846".
18 Continue praying|strong="G4336" for|strong="G1063" us|strong="G1722". We|strong="G2249" feel right|strong="G2570" about|strong="G4012" what|strong="G2570" we|strong="G2249" do|strong="G2192", because|strong="G3754" we|strong="G2249" always|strong="G3956" try to|strong="G2309" do|strong="G2192" what|strong="G2570" is|strong="G3748" best.
19 And|strong="G1161" I|strong="G3778" beg|strong="G3870" you|strong="G5210" to|strong="G2443" pray|strong="G2443" that|strong="G2443" God|strong="G4160" will|strong="G3778" send me|strong="G4160" back to|strong="G2443" you|strong="G5210" soon|strong="G5032". I|strong="G3778" want this|strong="G3778" more|strong="G4056" than anything else.
22 My|strong="G2532" brothers|strong="G0080" and|strong="G2532" sisters, I|strong="G2532" beg|strong="G3870" you|strong="G5210" to|strong="G2532" listen patiently to|strong="G2532" what|strong="G3588" I|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3056". I|strong="G2532" wrote|strong="G1989" this|strong="G3588" letter to|strong="G2532" strengthen you|strong="G5210". And|strong="G2532" it|strong="G1223" is|strong="G3588" not|strong="G2532" very|strong="G2532" long.
23 I|strong="G1473" want you|strong="G5210" to|strong="G2064" know|strong="G1097" that|strong="G3739" our|strong="G0080" brother|strong="G0080" Timothy|strong="G5095" is|strong="G3739" out of|strong="G0080" prison. If|strong="G1437" he|strong="G3739" comes|strong="G2064" to|strong="G2064" me|strong="G1473" soon|strong="G5032", we|strong="G2249" will|strong="G3739" both|strong="G2064" come|strong="G2064" to|strong="G2064" see|strong="G3708" you|strong="G5210".
24 Give|strong="G0782" my|strong="G3956" greetings|strong="G0782" to|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3956" your|strong="G3956" leaders|strong="G2233" and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3956" God’s people|strong="G3956". All|strong="G3956" those|strong="G3588" from|strong="G0575" Italy|strong="G2482" send|strong="G0782" you|strong="G5210" their|strong="G2532" greetings|strong="G0782".
25 God’s grace|strong="G5485" be|strong="G3956" with|strong="G3326" you|strong="G5210" all|strong="G3956".
