希伯来书 13

做上帝喜悦的事

1 你们要继续彼此相爱，情同手足。2 不要忘记款待客旅，因为曾经有人接待客旅时不知不觉接待了天使。3 要设身处地地顾念那些被囚禁和遭遇苦难的人。

4 人人都要尊重婚姻，不可玷污夫妻关系t，因为上帝必审判淫乱和通奸的人。

5 不要贪爱钱财，要对自己拥有的知足，因为上帝说过：
“我永不撇下你，也不离弃你。”

6 这样，我们可以放胆地说：
“主是我的帮助，
我必不惧怕，
人能把我怎么样？”

7 你们要记住从前带领你们、把上帝的道传给你们的人，留心观察他们一生如何行事为人，效法他们的信心。8 耶稣基督昨日、今日、直到永远都不改变。9 你们不要被五花八门的异端邪说勾引了去，因为心中得到力量是靠上帝的恩典，而不是靠饮食上的礼仪，这些礼仪从未使遵守的人受益。

10 我们有一座祭坛，坛上的祭物是那些在圣幕里工作的人没有权利吃的。11 大祭司把祭牲的血带进圣所作为赎罪祭献上，而祭牲的身体则在营外烧掉。12 同样，耶稣也在城门外受难，为要用自己的血使祂的子民圣洁。13 因此，让我们也走出营外到祂那里，忍受祂所忍受的凌辱吧！14 我们在地上没有永远的城，我们寻求的是那将来的城。

15 让我们靠着基督，常常开口以颂赞为祭献给上帝，这是承认主名的人t所结的果子。16 不可忘记行善和帮补别人，因为这样的祭是上帝所喜悦的。

17 要顺服引导你们的人，因为他们为你们的灵魂时刻警醒，将来要向上帝交账。你们要听从他们，使他们满心喜乐地尽此职责，不至忧愁，否则对你们毫无益处。

18 请为我们祷告，因为我们自信良心无愧，凡事都愿意遵行正道。19 也请你们特别为我祷告，使我能够早日回到你们那里。

祝福与问安

20 愿赐平安的上帝，就是那位凭着立永恒之约的血使群羊的大牧人——我主耶稣从死里复活的上帝，21 在各样善事上成全你们，好使你们遵行祂的旨意，并借着主耶稣在你们心中动工，使你们做祂喜悦的事！愿荣耀归给上帝，直到永永远远。阿们！

22 弟兄姊妹，我简短地写信给你们，希望你们听我劝勉的话。23 你们知道，我们的弟兄提摩太已经被释放了。如果他及时来到，我会与他一起去看你们。

24 请代我问候所有带领你们的人以及众圣徒。从意大利来的人也问候你们。

25 愿恩典与你们众人同在！

Hebrews 13

Final Exhortations

1 Brotherly love must continue.2 Do not neglect hospitality, because through it some have entertained angels without knowing it.s3 Remember those in prison as though you were in prison with them,t and those ill-treated as though you too felt their torment.t4 Marriage must be honored among all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge sexually immoral people and adulterers.5 Your conduct must be free from the love of money and you must be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you and I will never abandon you.”s6 So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, andsI will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”s7 Remember your leaders, who spoke God’s message to you; reflect on the outcome of their lives and imitate their faith.8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever!9 Do not be carried away by all sorts of strange teachings.t For it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not ritual meals,t which have never benefited those who participated in them.10 We have an altar that those who serve in the tabernacle have no right to eat from.11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood the high priest bringst into the sanctuary as an offering for sin are burned outside the camp.12 Therefore, to sanctify the people by his own blood, Jesus also suffered outside the camp.13 We must go out to him, then, outside the camp, bearing the abuse he experienced.t14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.15 Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, acknowledging his name.

16 And do not neglect to do good and to share what you have,t for God is pleased with such sacrifices.
17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls and will give an account for their work.t Let them do thist with joy and not with complaints, for this would be no advantage for you.18 Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to conduct ourselves rightly in every respect.

19 I especially ask you to prayt that I may be restored to you very soon.

Benediction and Conclusion

20 Now may the God of peace who by the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ,

21 equip you with every good thing to do his will, working in uss what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever.s Amen.
22 Now I urge you, brothers and sisters,t bear with my message of exhortation, for in fact I have written to you briefly.23 You should know thatt our brother Timothy has been released. If he comes soon, he will be with me when I see you.t24 Greetings to all your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy send you greetings.

25 Grace be with you all.s
