1 Let|strong="G3306" your|strong="G3588" love|strong="G5360" for|strong="G3306" the|strong="G3588" Lord|strong="G3588"’s followers|strong="G3588" continue|strong="G3306".
2 Do|strong="G3361" not|strong="G3361" neglect|strong="G1950" to|strong="G5100" show hospitality|strong="G5381"; for|strong="G1063", through|strong="G1223" being|strong="G3361" hospitable, people|strong="G3361" have|strong="G5100" all|strong="G3361" unawares|strong="G2990" entertained|strong="G3579" angels.
3 Remember|strong="G3403" the|strong="G1722" prisoners|strong="G1198", as|strong="G5613" if|strong="G5613" you|strong="G1722" were|strong="G1510" their|strong="G2532" fellow prisoners|strong="G1198", and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" oppressed, not|strong="G1510" forgetting that|strong="G3588" you|strong="G1722" also|strong="G2532" are|strong="G1510" still in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" body|strong="G4983".
4 Let|strong="G2919" marriage|strong="G1062" be|strong="G2532" honoured by|strong="G1722" all|strong="G3956" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" married life be|strong="G2532" pure; for|strong="G1063" God|strong="G2316" will|strong="G2316" judge|strong="G2919" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" are|strong="G3588" immoral|strong="G4205" and|strong="G2532" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" commit adultery.
5 Do|strong="G3004" not|strong="G3756" let|strong="G1063" your|strong="G3588" conduct be|strong="G3756" ruled by|strong="G3004" the|strong="G3588" love of|strong="G3588" money. Be|strong="G3756" content with|strong="G3756" what|strong="G3588" you|strong="G4771" have|strong="G3588", for|strong="G1063" God|strong="G3004" himself has|strong="G3761" said|strong="G3004" –
6 Therefore|strong="G5620" we|strong="G2249" may|strong="G3004" say|strong="G3004" with|strong="G2962" confidence|strong="G2292" –
7 Do|strong="G3056" not|strong="G3739" forget your|strong="G3588" leaders|strong="G2233", who|strong="G3739" told|strong="G2980" you|strong="G5210" God|strong="G2316"’s message|strong="G3056". Recall|strong="G3421" the|strong="G3588" close of|strong="G3056" their|strong="G3588" lives, and|strong="G2316" imitate|strong="G3401" their|strong="G3588" faith|strong="G4102".
8 Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547" is|strong="G3588" the|strong="G2532" same|strong="G2532" yesterday|strong="G5504" and|strong="G2532" today|strong="G4594" – yes, and|strong="G2532" for|strong="G1519" ever|strong="G1519"!
9 Do|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" let|strong="G1063" yourselves|strong="G1722" be|strong="G2532" carried|strong="G3911" away|strong="G3911" by|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" various|strong="G4164" novel forms of|strong="G2532" teaching|strong="G1322". It|strong="G2532" is|strong="G3588" better|strong="G2570" to|strong="G2532" rely for|strong="G1063" spiritual strength on|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" divine help|strong="G5623", than|strong="G2532" on|strong="G1722" regulations regarding food|strong="G1033"; for|strong="G1063" those|strong="G3588" whose|strong="G3739" lives are|strong="G3588" guided by|strong="G1722" such|strong="G3588" regulations have|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" found|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588" of|strong="G2532" service.
10 We|strong="G3739" are|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3756" without|strong="G3756" an|strong="G2192" altar|strong="G2379"; but|strong="G3588" it|strong="G3739" is|strong="G3588" one|strong="G3739" at|strong="G1537" which|strong="G3739" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3739" still worship|strong="G3000" in|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1537" tent|strong="G4633" have|strong="G2192" no|strong="G3756" right|strong="G1849" to|strong="G1849" eat|strong="G2068".
11 The|strong="G1519" bodies|strong="G4983" of|strong="G4012" those|strong="G3588" animals|strong="G2226" whose|strong="G3739" blood is|strong="G3588" brought|strong="G1533" by|strong="G1223" the|strong="G1519" high priest into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1519" sanctuary, as|strong="G1519" an|strong="G1519" offering for|strong="G1063" sin, are|strong="G3588" burnt outside|strong="G1854" the|strong="G1519" camp|strong="G3925".
12 And|strong="G2532" so|strong="G2443" Jesus|strong="G2424", also|strong="G2532", to|strong="G2443" purify the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G2992" by|strong="G1223" his|strong="G1223" own|strong="G2398" blood, suffered|strong="G3958" outside|strong="G1854" the|strong="G2532" gate|strong="G4439".
13 Therefore|strong="G5106" let us go|strong="G1831" out|strong="G1831" to|strong="G4314" him|strong="G3588" “outside|strong="G1854" the|strong="G4314" camp|strong="G3925",” bearing|strong="G5342" the|strong="G4314" same reproaches|strong="G3680" as|strong="G1831" he|strong="G3588";
14 for|strong="G1063" here|strong="G5602" we|strong="G1063" have|strong="G2192" no|strong="G3756" permanent city|strong="G4172", but|strong="G1063" are|strong="G3588" looking for|strong="G1063" the|strong="G3588" city|strong="G4172" that|strong="G3588" is|strong="G3588" to|strong="G3195" be|strong="G3756".
15 Through|strong="G1223" him|strong="G3588" let|strong="G1510" us offer, as|strong="G2316" our|strong="G2316" sacrifice|strong="G2378", continual praise to|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316" – an|strong="G1510" offering from|strong="G3588" lips|strong="G5491" that|strong="G3588" glorify his|strong="G3956" name|strong="G3686".
16 Never|strong="G3361" forget|strong="G1950" to|strong="G2532" do|strong="G2532" kindly acts and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" share|strong="G2842" what|strong="G3588" you|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2532" with|strong="G2532" others|strong="G3588", for|strong="G1063" such|strong="G5108" sacrifices|strong="G2378" are|strong="G3588" acceptable to|strong="G2532" God|strong="G2316".
17 Obey|strong="G3982" your|strong="G2532" leaders|strong="G2233", and|strong="G2532" submit|strong="G5226" to|strong="G2443" their|strong="G2532" control, for|strong="G1063" they|strong="G2532" are|strong="G3588" watching over|strong="G5228" your|strong="G2532" souls|strong="G5590", since|strong="G5613" they|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2443" render an|strong="G2532" account|strong="G3056", so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G2443" they|strong="G2532" may|strong="G2532" do|strong="G4160" it|strong="G2532" with|strong="G3326" joy|strong="G5479", and|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3361" in|strong="G2532" sorrow. That|strong="G2443" would|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3361" be|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2443" your|strong="G2532" advantage.
18 Pray|strong="G4336" for|strong="G1063" us|strong="G2249", for|strong="G1063" we|strong="G2249" are|strong="G3956" sure|strong="G3982" that|strong="G3754" our|strong="G3956" consciences|strong="G4893" are|strong="G3956" clear, since|strong="G3754" our|strong="G3956" wish|strong="G2309" is|strong="G3956" to|strong="G2309" be|strong="G3956" occupied with|strong="G1722" what|strong="G1063" is|strong="G3956" good|strong="G2570".
19 And|strong="G1161" I|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1161" more|strong="G4056" earnestly ask|strong="G3870" for|strong="G1161" your|strong="G4160" prayers, so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G2443" I|strong="G1161" may|strong="G2443" be|strong="G2443" restored to|strong="G2443" you|strong="G5210" the|strong="G1161" sooner|strong="G5032".
20 May|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316", the|strong="G1722" source of|strong="G1537" all|strong="G1722" peace|strong="G1515", who|strong="G3588" brought|strong="G1161" back from|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1722" dead|strong="G3498" him|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588", “by|strong="G1722" virtue of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1722" blood that|strong="G3588" rendered valid the|strong="G1722" unchangeable covenant|strong="G1242", is|strong="G3588" the|strong="G1722" great|strong="G3173" shepherd|strong="G4166" of|strong="G1537" God|strong="G2316"’s|strong="G2962" Sheep|strong="G4263",” Jesus|strong="G2424", our|strong="G2316" Lord|strong="G2962" –

May|strong="G5547" he|strong="G3739" bring|strong="G4160" out|strong="G1519" in|strong="G1722" us|strong="G4160" all|strong="G3956" that|strong="G3739" is|strong="G3588" pleasing|strong="G2101" in|strong="G1722" his|strong="G3956" sight|strong="G1799", through|strong="G1223" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547", to|strong="G1519" whom|strong="G3739" be|strong="G3956" all|strong="G3956" glory|strong="G1391" for|strong="G1519" ever|strong="G1519" and|strong="G1391" ever|strong="G1519". Amen.
