1

Let love of the brethren continue.

2

{G1950} Forget not to show love unto strangers: for thereby {G1223} some have entertained angels unawares.

3

Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; them that are ill-treated, as being yourselves also in the body.

4

[None Let] marriage [be] had in honor among all, and [let] the bed [be] undefiled: for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

5

Be ye free from the love of money; content with such things as ye have: for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee.

6

So that with good courage we say, The Lord is my helper; {G2532} I will not fear: What shall man do unto me?

7

Remember them that had the rule over you, men that spake unto you the word of God; and considering the issue of their life, imitate their faith.

9

Be not carried away by divers and strange teachings: for it is good that the heart be established by grace; not by meats, wherein {G1722} they that occupied themselves were not profited.

We have an altar, whereof {G1537} they have no right to eat that serve the tabernacle.

For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest [as an offering] for sin, are burned without the camp.

14

For we have not here an abiding city, but we seek after [the city] which is to come.

17

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit [to them]: for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this [were] unprofitable for you.

19

And I exhort [you] the more exceedingly to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

20

Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, [even] our Lord Jesus,

22
23

Know ye that our brother Timothy hath been 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.
