1 Let brotherly love continue. 2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. 3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. 4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. 5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. 9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. 10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. 11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. 12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. 13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. 14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. 15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. 16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. 19 But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. 20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words. 23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you. 24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you. 25 Grace be with you all. Amen.
1 caritas fraternitatis maneat
2 hospitalitatem nolite oblivisci
per hanc enim latuerunt quidam
angelis hospitio receptis
3 mementote vinctorum tamquam simul vincti
et laborantium tamquam et ipsi in corpore morantes
4 honorabile conubium in omnibus et torus inmaculatus
fornicatores enim et adulteros iudicabit Deus
5 sint mores sine avaritia contenti praesentibus
ipse enim dixit non te deseram neque derelinquam
6 ita ut confidenter dicamus
Dominus mihi adiutor
non timebo quid faciat mihi homo
7 mementote praepositorum vestrorum
qui vobis locuti sunt verbum Dei
quorum intuentes exitum conversationis imitamini fidem
8 Iesus Christus heri et hodie ipse et in saecula
9 doctrinis variis et peregrinis nolite abduci
optimum enim est gratia stabiliri cor non
escis
quae non profuerunt ambulantibus in eis
10 habemus altare
de quo edere non habent potestatem qui tabernaculo deserviunt
11 quorum enim animalium infertur sanguis pro peccato in sancta per
pontificem
horum corpora cremantur extra castra
12 propter quod et Iesus ut sanctificaret per suum sanguinem populum
extra portam passus est
13 exeamus igitur ad eum extra castra inproperium eius portantes
14 non enim habemus hic manentem civitatem
sed futuram inquirimus
15 per ipsum ergo offeramus hostiam laudis semper Deo
id est fructum labiorum confitentium nomini eius
16 beneficientiae autem et communionis nolite
oblivisci
talibus enim hostiis promeretur Deus
17 oboedite praepositis vestris et subiacete eis
ipsi enim pervigilant quasi rationem pro animabus vestris reddituri
ut cum gaudio hoc faciant et non gementes
hoc enim non expedit vobis
18 orate pro nobis
confidimus enim quia bonam conscientiam habemus
in omnibus bene volentes conversari
19 amplius autem deprecor vos hoc facere
ut quo celerius restituar vobis
20 Deus autem pacis
qui eduxit de mortuis pastorem magnum ovium
in sanguine testamenti aeterni
Dominum nostrum Iesum
21 aptet vos in omni bono ut faciatis voluntatem eius
faciens in vobis quod placeat coram se per Iesum Christum
cui gloria in saecula saeculorum amen
22 rogo autem vos fratres sufferatis verbum solacii
etenim perpaucis scripsi vobis
23 cognoscite fratrem nostrum Timotheum dimissum
cum quo si celerius venerit videbo vos
24 salutate omnes praepositos vestros et omnes sanctos
salutant vos de Italia
25 gratia cum omnibus vobis amen
