Amplified Bible Help
13LET LOVE for your fellow believers continue {and} be a fixed practice with you [never let it fail].G3306G5360G3306 2Do not forget {or} neglect {or} refuse to extend hospitality to strangers [in the brotherhood--being friendly, cordial, and gracious, sharing the comforts of your home and doing your part generously], for through it some have entertained angels without knowing it.G1950G3361G1950G5381G1063G1223G5026G5100G3579G32G2990 3Remember those who are in prison as if you were their fellow prisoner, and those who are ill-treated, since you also are liable to bodily sufferings.G3403G1198G5613G4887G2558G5613G5607G846G2532G1722G4983 4Let marriage be held in honor (esteemed worthy, precious, of great price, and especially dear) in all things. And thus let the marriage bed be undefiled (kept undishonored); for God will judge {and} punish the unchaste [all guilty of sexual vice] and adulterous.G1062G5093G1722G3956G2532G2845G283G1161G4205G2532G3432G2316G2919 5Let your character {or} moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you {nor} give you up {nor} leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless {nor} forsake {nor} let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]G5158G866G714G3918G1063G846G2046G3364G447G4571G3761G3364G1459G4571 6So we take comfort {and} are encouraged {and} confidently {and} boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. What can man do to me?G5620G2248G2292G3004G2962G1698G998G2532G5399G3756G5399G5101G444G4160G3427 7Remember your leaders {and} superiors in authority [for it was they] who brought to you the Word of God. Observe attentively {and} consider their manner of living (the outcome of their well-spent lives) and imitate their faith (their conviction that God exists and is the Creator and Ruler of all things, the Provider and Bestower of eternal salvation through Christ, and their leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness).G3421G2233G5216G3748G2980G5213G3056G2316G3739G4102G3401G333G1545G391 8Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages).G2424G5547G846G5504G2532G4594G2532G1519G165 9Do not be carried about by different {and} varied and alien teachings; for it is good for the heart to be established {and} ennobled {and} strengthened by means of grace (God's favor and spiritual blessing) and not [to be devoted to] foods [rules of diet and ritualistic meals], which bring no [spiritual] benefit {or} profit to those who observe them.G4064G3361G4064G4164G2532G3581G1322G1063G2570G2588G950G5485G3756G1033G5623G3756G5623G4043G1722G3739 10We have an altar from which those who serve {and} worship in the tabernacle have no right to eat.G2192G2379G1537G3739G2192G3756G1849G5315G3000G4633 11For when the blood of animals is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin, the victims' bodies are burned outside the limits of the camp.G1063G4983G5130G2226G3739G129G1533G1519G39G1223G749G4012G266G2618G1854G3925 12Therefore Jesus also suffered {and} died outside the [city's] gate in order that He might purify {and} consecrate the people through [the shedding of] His own blood {and} set them apart as holy [for God].G1352G2424G2532G2443G37G2992G1223G2398G129G3958G1854G4439 13Let us then go forth [from all that would prevent us] to Him outside the camp [at Calvary], bearing the contempt {and} abuse {and} shame with Him.G1831G5106G4314G846G1854G3925G5342G846G3680 14For here we have no permanent city, but we are looking for the one which is to come.G1063G5602G2192G3756G3306G4172G235G1934G3195 15Through Him, therefore, let us constantly {and} at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge {and} confess {and} glorify His name.G1223G846G3767G399G2378G133G2316G1275G5123G2590G5491G3670G846G3686 16Do not forget {or} neglect to do kindness {and} good, to be generous {and} distribute {and} contribute to the needy [of the church as embodiment and proof of fellowship], for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.G1161G2140G2532G2842G1950G3361G1063G5108G2378G2316G2100 17Obey your spiritual leaders and submit to them [continually recognizing their authority over you], for they are constantly keeping watch over your souls {and} guarding your spiritual welfare, as men who will have to render an account [of their trust]. [Do your part to] let them do this with gladness and not with sighing {and} groaning, for that would not be profitable to you [either].G3982G2233G5216G2532G5226G1063G846G69G5228G5216G5590G5613G591G3056G2443G4160G5124G3326G5479G2532G3361G4727G1063G5124G255G5213 18Keep praying for us, for we are convinced that we have a good (clear) conscience, that we want to walk uprightly {and} live a noble life, acting honorably {and} in complete honesty in all things.G4336G4012G2257G1063G3754G3982G2192G2570G4893G1722G3956G2309G390G2573 19And I beg of you [to pray for us] the more earnestly, in order that I may be restored to you the sooner.G1161G3870G4056G4160G5124G2443G600G5213G5032 20Now may the God of peace [Who is the Author and the Giver of peace], Who brought again from among the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood [that sealed, ratified] the everlasting agreement (covenant, testament),G1161G2316G1515G321G1537G3498G2257G2962G2424G3173G4166G4263G1722G129G166G1242 21Strengthen (complete, perfect) {and} make you what you ought to be {and} equip you with everything good that you may carry out His will; [while He Himself] works in you {and} accomplishes that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ (the Messiah); to Whom be the glory forever and ever (to the ages of the ages). Amen (so be it).G2675G5209G2675G1722G3956G18G2041G1519G4160G846G2307G4160G1722G5213G2101G846G1799G1223G2424G5547G3739G1391G1519G165G165G281 22I call on you, brethren, to listen patiently {and} bear with this message of exhortation {and} admonition {and} encouragement, for I have written to you briefly.G1161G3870G5209G80G430G3056G3874G1063G2532G1989G5213G1223G1024 23Notice that our brother Timothy has been released [from prison]. If he comes here soon, I will see you along with him.G1097G80G5095G630G3326G3739G1437G2064G5032G3700G5209 24Give our greetings to all of your spiritual leaders and to all of the saints (God's consecrated believers). The Italian Christians send you their greetings [also].G782G3956G2233G5216G2532G3956G40G575G2482G782G5209 25Grace (God's favor and spiritual blessing) be with you all. {Amen (so be it).}G5485G3326G5216G3956G281
