Hebrews 13

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Let brotherly love continue.	1 Continue to love each other like brothers,
2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.	2 and remember always to welcome strangers, for by doing this, some people have entertained angelswithout knowing it.
3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.	3 Keep in mind those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them; and those who arebeing badly treated, since you too are in the body.
4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.	4 Marriage must be honoured by al , and marriages must be kept undefiled, because the sexuallyimmoral and adulterers wil come under God's judgement.
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.	5 Put avarice out of your lives and be content with whatever you have; God himself has said: I shal notfail you or desert you,
6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.	6 and so we can say with confidence: With the Lord on my side, I fear nothing: what can human beingsdo to me?
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.	7 Remember your leaders, who preached the word of God to you, and as you reflect on the outcome oftheir lives, take their faith as your model.
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.	8 Jesus Christ is the same today as he was yesterday and as he wil be for ever.
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.	9 Do not be led astray by al sorts of strange doctrines: it is better to rely on grace for inner strength thanon food, which has done no good to those who concentrate on it.
10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.	10 We have our own altar from which those who serve the Tent have no right to eat.
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.	11 The bodies of the animals whose blood is taken into the sanctuary by the high priest for the rite ofexpiation are burnt outside the camp,
12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.	12 and so Jesus too suffered outside the gate to sanctify the people with his own blood.
13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.	13 Let us go to him, then, outside the camp, and bear his humiliation.
14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.	14 There is no permanent city for us here; we are looking for the one which is yet to be.
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.	15 Through him, let us offer God an unending sacrifice of praise, the fruit of the lips of those whoacknowledge his name.
16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.	16 Keep doing good works and sharing your resources, for these are the kinds of sacrifice that pleaseGod.
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.	17 Obey your leaders and give way to them; they watch over your souls because they must give anaccount of them; make this a joy for them to do, and not a grief -- you yourselves would be the losers.
18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.	18 Pray for us; we are sure that our own conscience is clear and we are certainly determined to behavehonourably in everything we do.
19 But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.	19 I ask you very particularly to pray that I may come back to you all the sooner.
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,	20 I pray that the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd ofthe sheep, by the blood that sealed an eternal covenant,
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.	21 may prepare you to do his wil in every kind of good action; effecting in us al whatever is acceptableto himself through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.	22 I urge you, brothers, to take these words of encouragement kindly; that is why I have written to youbriefly.
23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.	23 I want you to know that our brother Timothy has been set free. If he arrives in time, he will be with mewhen I see you.
24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.	24 Greetings to al your leaders and to al God's holy people. God's holy people in Italy send yougreetings.
25 Grace be with you all. Amen.	25 Grace be with you al .
