BRS.HEBREWS.13

1 Let brotherly love continue. 2 Always remember to help people by welcoming them into your home. Some people have done that and have helped angels without even knowing it. 3 Don’t forget those who are in prison, either. Remember them as though you were in prison with them. And don’t forget those who are suffering. Remember them as though you were suffering with them. 4 Marriage should be honoured by everyone. And every marriage should be kept pure between husband and wife. Alahim will judge guilty those who commit sexual sins and adultery. 5 Keep your lives free from the love of money. And be satisfied with what you have. Alahim has said, “I will never leave you or turn My back on you.” 6 So we can feel sure and say, “The Master is my helper, so I will not be afraid. People can do nothing to me.”

7 Remember the leaders who rule over you. They taught Alahim’s message to you. Remember how they lived and died, and copy their trusting-belief. 8 YAHUSHA Messiah is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 9 Don’t let all kinds of strange teachings lead you into the wrong way. Depend only on Alahim’s favour for spiritual strength, not on rules about foods, for obeying those rules doesn’t help anyone.

10 We have a sacrifice and an Altar, and those Priests who serve in the Set-Apart Tabernacle cannot eat from anything we have. 11 The High Priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Set-Apart Place and offers that blood for sins. But the bodies of those animals are burned outside the camp. 12 So YAHUSHA also suffered outside the Gate. He died to make His people set-apart with His own blood. 13 So we should go to YAHUSHA outside the camp also and accept the same shame that He had. 14 Here on earth, we don’t have a city that lasts forever. But we are waiting for the city that we will have in the future. 15 So through YAHUSHA we should never stop offering our sacrifices to Alahim. For that sacrifice is our praise, coming from lips that speak His Name. 16 And don’t forget to do good and to share what you have with others, because sacrifices like these are very pleasing to Alahim.

17 Obey the leaders who rule over you, and be submissive - willing to do what they say! They are responsible for your spiritual welfare, so they are always watching to protect you. Obey them so that their work will give them joy, not grief. It won’t help you to make it hard for them, will it? 18 Continue praying for us. We feel right about what we do, because we always try to do what is best. 19 And I beg you to pray that Alahim will send me back to you soon. I want this more than anything else.

20-21 I pray that the Alahim of peace will give you every good thing you need so that you can do what He wants. Alahim is the one who raised from death our Master YAHUSHA, the Great Shepherd of His sheep. He raised Him because YAHUSHA sacrificed his blood to raise up the New Covenant that is everlasting. I pray that Alahim will work through YAHUSHA Messiah to do the things in us that please Him. To him be glorious-esteem and majestic splendour forever. Amein.

22 My brothers and sisters, I beg you to listen patiently to what I have said. I wrote this letter to strengthen you. And it is not very long. 23 I want you to know that our brother Timothy is out of prison. If he comes to me soon, we will both come to see you. 24 Give my greetings to all your leaders and to all Alahim’s people. All those from Italy send you their greetings. 25 Alahim’s favour be with you all.
