Hebrews 13
1 Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters.
2 Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers,
for some who have done this have entertained angels
without realizing it!
3 Remember those in prison,
as if you were there yourself.
Remember also those being mistreated,
as if you felt their pain in your own bodies.
4 Give honor to marriage,
and remain faithful to one another in marriage.
God will surely judge people who are immoral
and those who commit adultery.
5 Don’t love money;
be satisfied with what you have.
For God has said,
“I will never fail you.
I will never abandon you.”
6 So we can say with confidence,
“The Lord is my helper,
so I will have no fear.
What can mere people do to me?”
7 Remember your leaders who taught you the word of God.
Think of all the good that has come from their lives,
and follow the example of their faith.
8 Jesus Christ is the same
yesterday,
today,
and forever.
9 So do not be attracted by strange, new ideas.
Your strength comes from God’s special favor,
not from ceremonial rules,
which don’t help those who follow them.
