1 Let brotherly love continue. 2 Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it. 3 Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body. 4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

5 Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, "I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you." 6 So that with good courage we say,

"The Lord is my helper. I will not fear.

What can man do to me?"

7 Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 9 Don’t be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

10 We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat. 11 For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside of the camp. 12 Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate. 13 Let’s therefore go out to him outside of the camp, bearing his reproach. 14 For we don’t have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come. 15 Through him, then, let’s offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance to his name. 16 But don’t forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be 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 I strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you sooner.

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

22 But I exhort you, brothers, endure the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words. 23 Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.

24 Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. The Italians greet 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!
