"Let brotherly love continue."
|

entertain strangers: for thereby
some have entertained angels unawares. |
"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."
|
| 13:3
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer
adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. |
Does God approve of slavery?
|
| 13:4
Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but
whoremongers and
adulterers God will judge. |
"Marriage is honourable in all ... but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."
Is marriage a good thing?
Is it wrong to commit adultery?
|
| 13:5
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.
|

man shall do unto me. |
|
| 13:7
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. |
|

|
| 13:9
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. |
"Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines."
Avoid "strange doctrines." Those who do so will avoid nearly everything that the Bible teaches.
|
| 13:10
We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the
tabernacle. |
|
| 13:11
For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary
by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. |
|
| 13:12
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own
blood, suffered without the gate. |
|
| 13:13
Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. |
|
| 13:14
For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. |
|
| 13:15
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. |
|
| 13:16
But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God
is well pleased. |
|
| 13:17
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. |
|
| 13:18
Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing
to live honestly. |
|
| 13:19
But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the
sooner. |
|
| 13:20
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, |
"The God of peace"
Is God warlike or peaceful?
|
| 13:21
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. |
|
| 13:22
And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have
written a letter unto you in few words. |
|
| 13:23
Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come
shortly, I will see you. |
|
| 13:24
Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of
Italy salute you. |
|
| 13:25
Grace be with you all. Amen.
