Hebrews 13

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Continue to love each other like brothers,	1 Let the charity of the brotherhood abide in you.
2 and remember always to welcome strangers, for by doing this, some people have entertained angelswithout knowing it.	2 And hospitality do not forget; for by this some, being not aware of it, have entertained angels.
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.	3 Remember them that are in bands, as if you were bound with them; and them that labour, as being yourselves also in the body.
4 Marriage must be honoured by al , and marriages must be kept undefiled, because the sexuallyimmoral and adulterers wil come under God's judgement.	4 Marriage honourable in all, and the bed undefiled. For fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
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,	5 Let your manners be without covetousness, contented with such things as you have; for he hath said: I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee.
6 and so we can say with confidence: With the Lord on my side, I fear nothing: what can human beingsdo to me?	6 So that we may confidently say: The Lord is my helper: I will not fear what man shall do to me.
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.	7 Remember your prelates who have spoken the word of God to you; whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation,
8 Jesus Christ is the same today as he was yesterday and as he wil be for ever.	8 Jesus Christ, yesterday, and to day; and the same for ever.
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.	9 Be not led away with various and strange doctrines. For it is best that the heart be established with grace, not with meats; which have not profited those that walk in them.
10 We have our own altar from which those who serve the Tent have no right to eat.	10 We have an altar, whereof they have no power to eat who serve the tabernacle.
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,	11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the holies by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
12 and so Jesus too suffered outside the gate to sanctify the people with his own blood.	12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 Let us go to him, then, outside the camp, and bear his humiliation.	13 Let us go forth therefore to him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
14 There is no permanent city for us here; we are looking for the one which is yet to be.	14 For we have not here a lasting city, but we seek one that is to come.
15 Through him, let us offer God an unending sacrifice of praise, the fruit of the lips of those whoacknowledge his name.	15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise always to God, that is to say, the fruit of lips confessing to his name.
16 Keep doing good works and sharing your resources, for these are the kinds of sacrifice that pleaseGod.	16 And do not forget to do good, and to impart; for by such sacrifices God's favour is obtained.
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.	17 Obey your prelates, and be subject to them. For they watch as being to render an account of your souls; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief. For this is not expedient for you.
18 Pray for us; we are sure that our own conscience is clear and we are certainly determined to behavehonourably in everything we do.	18 Pray for us. For we trust we have a good conscience, being willing to behave ourselves well in all things.
19 I ask you very particularly to pray that I may come back to you all the sooner.	19 And I beseech you the more to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
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,	20 And may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great pastor of the sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the blood of the everlasting testament,
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.	21 Fit you in all goodness, that you may do his will; doing in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen.
22 I urge you, brothers, to take these words of encouragement kindly; that is why I have written to youbriefly.	22 And I beseech you, brethren, that you suffer this word of consolation. For I have written to you in a few words.
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.	23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty: with whom (if he come shortly) I will see you.
24 Greetings to al your leaders and to al God's holy people. God's holy people in Italy send yougreetings.	24 Salute all your prelates, and all the saints. The brethren from Italy salute you.
25 Grace be with you al .	25 Grace be with you all. Amen.
