{Do} not neglect - to show hospitality to strangers , for by so doing ... some (people) have entertained angels without knowing it.
Remember those in prison as if you were bound with (them) , (and) those who are mistreated as if you - were vvv (suffering with them).
- Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled , for - God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
vvv Keep your lives free from the love of money (and) be content with what you have , for (God) has said : “ Never vvv will I leave you , vvv never vvv will I forsake you.”
So we say with confidence : “ (The) Lord (is) my helper ; - vvv I will not be afraid. What {can} man do to me ?”
Remember your - leaders who spoke the word - of God to you. Consider the outcome of (their) - way of life (and) imitate (their) faith.
Jesus Christ (is) the same yesterday and today and vvv vvv forever.
{Do} not be carried away (by) all kinds - (of) strange teachings , for (it is) good for the heart to be strengthened by grace (and) not by foods - of no value to those devoted to (them).
We have an altar from which those who serve at the tabernacle have no right to eat.
(Although) - the high priest - brings the blood of animals into the Holy Place (as a sacrifice) for sin , - the bodies are burned outside the camp.
And so Jesus {also} suffered outside the (city) gate , to sanctify the people by (His) own blood.
Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp , bearing the disgrace He (bore).
For here vvv we do not have a permanent city , but we are looking for the (city) that is to come.
Through (Jesus) , therefore , let us continually offer ... ... to God (a) sacrifice of praise , - - (the) fruit of lips that confess His - name.
And {do} not neglect - to do good and to share with others , for with such sacrifices - God is pleased.
Obey your - leaders and submit (to them) , for they watch over your - souls as those who must give an account. To this end , allow them (to lead) with joy and not (with) grief , for that (would be) of no advantage to you.
Pray for us ; - we are convinced that we have a clear conscience (and) desire to live honorably in every way.
And I especially urge ... you to (pray) ... that I may be restored to you soon.
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 ,
equip you with every good {thing} to - do His - will. (And) may He accomplish in us what (is) pleasing in His sight ... through Jesus Christ , to whom (be) - glory vvv vvv forever (and) ever. Amen.
- I urge you , brothers , to bear with (my) word - of exhortation , - for I have {only} written to you vvv briefly.
Be aware (that) our - brother Timothy - has been released. If he arrives soon , I will come with (him) {to see} you.
Greet all your - leaders and all the saints. Those from - Italy send you greetings ....
