§13.1Ἡ φιλαδελφία μενέτω.
Let brotherly love continue.
§13.2τῆς φιλοξενίας μὴ ἐπιλανθάνεσθε, διὰ ταύτης γὰρ ἔλαθόν τινες ξενίσαντες ἀγγέλους.
Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
§13.3μιμνήσκεσθε τῶν δεσμίων ὡς συνδεδεμένοι, τῶν κακουχουμένων ὡς καὶ αὐτοὶ ὄντες ἐν σώματι.
Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.
§13.4Τίμιος ὁ γάμος ἐν πᾶσιν καὶ ἡ κοίτη ἀμίαντος, πόρνους γὰρ καὶ μοιχοὺς κρινεῖ ὁ θεός.
Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.
§13.5Ἀφιλάργυρος ὁ τρόπος· ἀρκούμενοι τοῖς παροῦσιν· αὐτὸς γὰρ εἴρηκεν
"Οὐ μή σε ἀνῶ οὐδʼ οὐ μή σε ἐγκαταλίπω· " §13.6ὥστε θαρροῦντας ἡμᾶς λέγειν
"
Κύριος ἐμοὶ βοηθός, οὐ φοβηθήσομαι· τί ποιήσει μοι ἄνθρωπος; " §13.7Μνημονεύετε τῶν ἡγουμένων ὑμῶν, οἵτινες ἐλάλησαν ὑμῖν τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ, ὧν ἀναθεωροῦντες τὴν ἔκβασιν τῆς ἀναστροφῆς μιμεῖσθε τὴν πίστιν.
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?" Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith.
§13.8Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς ἐχθὲς καὶ σήμερον ὁ αὐτός, καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
διδαχαῖς ποικίλαις καὶ ξέναις μὴ παραφέρεσθε· §13.9καλὸν γὰρ χάριτι βεβαιοῦσθαι τὴν καρδίαν, οὐ βρώμασιν, ἐν οἷς οὐκ ὠφελήθησαν οἱ περιπατοῦντες.
Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them.
§13.10ἔχομεν θυσιαστήριον ἐξ οὗ φαγεῖν οὐκ ἔχουσιν [ἐξουσίαν] οἱ τῇ σκηνῇ λατρεύοντες.
We have an altar from which those who serve the tent have no right to eat.
§13.11ὧν γὰρ
"εἰσφέρεται"
ζῴων
"τὸ αἷμα περὶ ἁμαρτίας εἰς τὰ ἅγια"
διὰ τοῦ ἀρχιερέως, τούτων τὰ σώματα
"κατα καίεται ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς· " §13.12διὸ καὶ Ἰησοῦς, ἵνα ἁγιάσῃ διὰ τοῦ ἰδίου αἵματος τὸν λαόν, ἔξω τῆς πύλης ἔπαθεν.
For the bodies of those animals whose "blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin" "are burned outside the camp." So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood.
§13.13τοίνυν ἐξερχώμεθα πρὸς αὐτὸν
"ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς,"
τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτοῦ φέροντες,
Therefore let us go to him "outside the camp" and bear the reproach he endured.
§13.14οὐ γὰρ ἔχομεν ὧδε μένουσαν πόλιν, ἀλλὰ τὴν μέλλουσαν ἐπιζητοῦμεν·
For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.
§13.15διʼ αὐτοῦ
"ἀναφέρωμεν θυσίαν αἰνέσεως"
διὰ παντὸς
"τῷ θεῷ,"
τοῦτʼ ἔστιν
"καρπὸν χειλέων"
ὁμολογούντων τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ.
Through him then let us continually "offer up a sacrifice of praise to God," that is, "the fruit of lips" that acknowledge his name.
§13.16τῆς δὲ εὐποιίας καὶ κοινωνίας μὴ ἐπιλανθάνεσθε, τοιαύταις γὰρ θυσίαις εὐαρεστεῖται ὁ θεός.
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
§13.17Πείθεσθε τοῖς ἡγουμένοις ὑμῶν καὶ ὑπείκετε, αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἀγρυπνοῦσιν ὑπὲρ τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν ὡς λόγον ἀποδώσοντες, ἵνα μετὰ χαρᾶς τοῦτο ποιῶσιν καὶ μὴ στενάζοντες, ἀλυσιτελὲς γὰρ ὑμῖν τοῦτο.
Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.
§13.18Προσεύχεσθε περὶ ἡμῶν, πειθόμεθα γὰρ ὅτι καλὴν συνείδησιν ἔχομεν, ἐν πᾶσιν καλῶς θέλοντες ἀναστρέφεσθαι.
Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things.
§13.19περισσοτέρως δὲ παρακαλῶ τοῦτο ποιῆσαι ἵνα τάχειον ἀποκατασταθῶ ὑμῖν.
I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order that I may be restored to you the sooner.
§13.20Ὁ δὲ θεὸς τῆς εἰρήνης,
"ὁ ἀναγαγὼν"
ἐκ νεκρῶν
"τὸν ποιμένά τῶν προβάτων"
τὸν μέγαν
"ἐν αἵματι διαθήκης αἰωνίου,"
τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν, §13.21καταρτίσαι ὑμᾶς ἐν παντὶ ἀγαθῷ εἰς τὸ ποιῆσαι τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ, ποιῶν ἐν ἡμῖν τὸ εὐάρεστον ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ᾧ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων·
Now may the God of peace who "brought again" from the dead "the great shepherd of the sheep," our Lord Jesus, "by the blood of the eternal covenant," equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever.
ἀμήν.
Amen.
§13.22Παρακαλῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, ἀνέχεσθε τοῦ λόγου τῆς παρακλήσεως, καὶ γὰρ διὰ βραχέων ἐπέστειλα ὑμῖν.
I appeal to you, brothers, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.
§13.23Γινώσκετε τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν Τιμόθεον ἀπολελυμένον, μεθʼ οὗ ἐὰν τάχειον ἔρχηται ὄψομαι ὑμᾶς.
You should know that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon.
§13.24Ἀσπάσασθε πάντας τοὺς ἡγουμένους ὑμῶν καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἁγίους.
Greet all your leaders and all the saints.
Ἀσπάζονται ὑμᾶς οἱ ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰταλίας.
Those who come from Italy send you greetings.
§13.25Ἡ χάρις μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν.
Grace be with all of you.
