希伯來書 13

蒙上帝悅納的服務

1 你們務要常存弟兄相愛的心。 2 不可忘記用愛心接待客旅；因為曾有接待客旅的，不知不覺就接待了天使。 3 你們要記念被捆綁的人，好像與他們同受捆綁；也要記念遭苦害的人，想到自己也在肉身之內。 4 婚姻，人人都當尊重，床也不可污穢；因為苟合行淫的人，上帝必要審判。 5 你們存心不可貪愛錢財，要以自己所有的為足；因為主曾說：「我總不撇下你，也不丟棄你。」 6 所以我們可以放膽說： 主是幫助我的，我必不懼怕； 人能把我怎麼樣呢？

7 從前引導你們、傳上帝之道給你們的人，你們要想念他們，效法他們的信心，留心看他們為人的結局。 8 耶穌基督昨日、今日、一直到永遠，是一樣的。 9 你們不要被那諸般怪異的教訓勾引了去；因為人心靠恩得堅固才是好的，並不是靠飲食。那在飲食上專心的從來沒有得著益處。 10 我們有一祭壇，上面的祭物是那些在帳幕中供職的人不可同吃的。 11 原來牲畜的血被大祭司帶入聖所作贖罪祭；牲畜的身子被燒在營外。 12 所以，耶穌要用自己的血叫百姓成聖，也就在城門外受苦。 13 這樣，我們也當出到營外，就了他去，忍受他所受的凌辱。 14 我們在這裏本沒有常存的城，乃是尋求那將來的城。 15 我們應當靠著耶穌，常常以頌讚為祭獻給上帝，這就是那承認主名之人嘴唇的果子。 16 只是不可忘記行善和捐輸的事，因為這樣的祭是上帝所喜悅的。

17 你們要依從那些引導你們的，且要順服；因他們為你們的靈魂時刻警醒，好像那將來交帳的人。你們要使他們交的時候有快樂，不致憂愁；若憂愁就與你們無益了。

18 請你們為我們禱告，因我們自覺良心無虧，願意凡事按正道而行。 19 我更求你們為我禱告，使我快些回到你們那裏去。

祝福和問安

20 但願賜平安的上帝，就是那憑永約之血、使群羊的大牧人－我主耶穌從死裏復活的上帝， 21 在各樣善事上成全你們，叫你們遵行他的旨意；又藉著耶穌基督在你們心裏行他所喜悅的事。願榮耀歸給他，直到永永遠遠。阿們！

22 弟兄們，我略略寫信給你們，望你們聽我勸勉的話。 23 你們該知道，我們的兄弟提摩太已經釋放了；他若快來，我必同他去見你們。

24 請你們問引導你們的諸位和眾聖徒安。從意大利來的人也問你們安。 25 願恩惠常與你們眾人同在。阿們！

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
