1 Let brotherly love continue. 2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. 3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. 4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. 5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. 9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. 10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. 11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. 12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. 13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. 14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. 15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks 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 yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. 19 But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. 20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words. 23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is 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!
