Hebrews 13: 25 Grace be with you all.
147
17 Have confidence in
your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as
those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a
burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.
18 Pray for us. We are
sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.
19 I particularly urge
you to pray so that I may be restored to you soon.
147
8 Jesus Christ is the
same yesterday and today and forever.
9 Do not be carried
away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be
strengthened by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods, which is of no benefit
to those who do so.
10 We have an altar from
which those who minister at the tabernacle have no right to eat.

23 I want you to know
that our brother Timothy has been released. If he arrives soon, I will come
with him to see you.
24 Greet all your
leaders and all the Lord’s people. Those from Italy send you their greetings.

14 For here we do not
have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.
15 Through Jesus,
therefore, let us continually offer to GOD a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of
lips that openly profess His name.
16 And do not forget
to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices GOD is pleased.
147
5 Keep your lives
free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because GOD has
said, “Never will I leave you; never will I
forsake you.”
6 So we say with
confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I
will not be afraid. What can mere
mortals do to me?”
7 Remember your leaders,
who spoke the word of GOD to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and
imitate their faith.

Benediction and
Final Greetings
20 Now may the GOD of
peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead
our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,
21 equip you with
everything good for doing His will, and may He work in us what is pleasing to Him,
through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
22 Brothers and sisters,
I urge you to bear with my word of exhortation, for in fact I have written to
you quite briefly.
147
11 The high priest
carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but
the bodies are burned outside the camp.
12 And so Jesus also
suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through His Own blood.
13 Let us, then, go to Him
outside the camp, bearing the disgrace He bore.

Concluding
Exhortations
13 Keep on loving one
another as brothers and sisters.
2 Do not forget to
show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown
hospitality to angels without knowing it.
3 Continue to
remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those
who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
4 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure,
for GOD will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
