1 Let love of the brethren continue. 2 Forget not to show love unto strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. 3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; them that are ill-treated, as being yourselves also in the body. 4 Let marriage be had in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: for fornicators and adulterers God will judge. 5 Be ye free from the love of money; content with such things as ye have: for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee. 6 So that with good courage we say,

The Lord is my helper; I will not fear:

What shall man do unto me?

7 Remember them that had the rule over you, men that spake unto you the word of God; and considering the issue of their life, imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day, yea and for ever. 9 Be not carried away by divers and strange teachings: for it is good that the heart be established by grace; not by meats, wherein they that occupied themselves were not profited. 10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat that serve the tabernacle. 11 For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned without the camp. 12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered without the gate. 13 Let us therefore go forth unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. 14 For we have not here an abiding city, but we seek after the city which is to come. 15 Through him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to his name. 16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit to them: for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this were unprofitable for you.

18 Pray for us: for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things. 19 And I exhort you the more exceedingly to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

20 Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, even our Lord Jesus, 21 make you perfect in every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

22 But I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation: for I have written unto you in few words. 23 Know ye that our brother Timothy hath been set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.

25 Grace be with you all. Amen.

1 Vendade armastus jäägu püsima!

2 Ärge unustage külalislahkust, sest selle läbi on mõningad ilma teadmata külalisteks vastu võtnud Ingleid.

3 Pidage meeles vange, otsekui oleksite kaasvangid, ja vaevatuid, sest ka teie olete veel ihus.

4 Abielu olgu igapidi au sees ja abieluvoodi rüvetamata! Sest Jumal nuhtleb hoorajaid ja abielurikkujaid.

5 Teie meelelaad olgu rahaahnuseta; olge rahul sellega, mis teil on. Sest Tema on öelnud: „Ma ei hülga sind ega jäta sind maha!"

6 Nii võime siis julgesti öelda: „Issand on minu abimees, ei ma karda! Mis võib inimene mulle teha?"

7 Mõelge oma juhatajaile, kes teile on rääkinud Jumala sõna, pannes tähele nende eluotsa järgige nende usku!

8 Jeesus Kristus on Seesama, eile ja täna ja igavesti!

9 Ärge laske endid vintsutada mitmelaadiliste ja võõraste õpetustega; sest hea on, et süda kinnitatakse armu läbi, aga mitte toitudega, millest ei ole saanud kasu need, kes nende määruste järgi käivad.

10 Meil on ohvrialtar, kust toidust võtta ei ole luba neil, kes telgis peavad teenistust.

11 Sest nende loomade kehad, kelle vere ülempreester viib ohvriks patu eest pühasse paika, põletatakse väljaspool leeri.

12 Seepärast on ka Jeesus, et pühitseda rahvast Oma Vere läbi, kannatanud väljaspool väravat.

13 Siis mingem nüüd Tema juurde väljapoole leeri ning kandkem Tema teotust.

14 Sest meil pole siin jäädavat linna, vaid meie otsime tulevast.

15 Viigem siis nüüd Tema kaudu alati Jumalale kiitusohvrit, see on nende huulte vilja, kes tunnistavad Tema nime.

16 Ärge unustage head teha ja osadust pidada, sest sellised ohvrid on Jumala meele järgi.

17 Olge sõnakuulelikud oma juhatajaile ja alistuge neile; sest nemad valvavad teie hingi nõnda nagu need, kellel tuleb aru anda, et nad teeksid seda rõõmuga ja mitte ohates; sest teil ei oleks sellest kasu.

18 Palvetage meie eest! Sest me oleme veendunud selles, et meil on hea südametunnistus ja me tahame kõiges käituda kaunisti.

19 Eriti ma palun seda teha selleks, et mind rutemini antaks teile tagasi.

20 Aga rahu Jumal, Kes surnuist on üles toonud igavese lepingu Vere läbi lammaste suure Karjase, meie Issanda Jeesuse,

21 varustagu teid kõige heaga Tegema Tema tahtmist ja saatku teie sees korda seda, mis on Tema meelt mööda, Jeesuse Kristuse läbi, Kellele olgu austus ajastute ajastuteni! Aamen.

22 Aga ma palun teid, vennad, võtke heaks see manitsussõna! Ma olen teile ju lühidalt kirjutanud.

23 Teadke, et meie vend Timoteos on jälle vaba. Temaga ühes, kui ta varsti tuleb, saan ma teid näha.

24 Tervitage kõiki oma juhatajaid ja kõiki pühasid! Teid tervitavad Itaalia vennad.

25 Arm olgu teie kõikidega!
