er
those bound as bound with them, and those injured as being yourselves
also in the body. [13:4] Marriage is honorable in all, and married life
without blame; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. [13:5]Let
your life be without avarice, and be contented with what you have; for
he said, I will never leave you, I will never forsake you; [13:6]so
that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear;
what can man do to me?

5 [13:7]Remember your guides who spoke to you the word of God, and
considering the end of their life follow the faith. [13:8]Jesus Christ
is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever. [13:9]Be not carried about
with various and strange doctrines; for it is good that the mind should
be established with grace, not with aliments, in which those walking
are not profited.

6 [13:10]We have an altar of which those who serve the tabernacle have
no right to eat. [13:11]For the bodies of those animals whose blood is
carried into the sanctuary by the chief priest are burnt without the
encampment. [13:12] Wherefore also Jesus, that he might purify the

for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

souls as having to give an account, that they may do this with joy and
not with grief; for this is unprofitable for you.

8 [13:18]Pray for us; for we trust we have a good conscience, in all
things wishing to live well. [13:19]And I exhort you do this the more,
that I may sooner be restored to you.

9 [13:20]And may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the
great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of the eternal covenant, our
Lord Jesus, [13:21]perfect you in every good work to do his will, doing
in you that which is pleasing in his sight through Jesus Christ, to
whom be the glory forever; amen.

10 [13:22]And I beseech you, brothers, suffer the word of exhortation;
for I have sent to you a letter in a few words. [13:23]Know that
brother Timothy has been released, with whom, if he comes soon, I will
