1. Let brotherly love continue.
2. Do not be forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
3. Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them; and those who suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
4. Marriage is honorable for all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
5. Let your conduct be without covetousness; and be content with such things as you have: for he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
6. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.
7. Remember those who have the rule over you, who have spoken to you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct.
8. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.
9. Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing for the heart to be established with grace, not with foods, which have not benefited those who have been occupied with them.
10. We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.
11. For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp.
12. Therefore Jesus also, so that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered outside the gate.

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 share do not forget: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17. Obey those who have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch out for your souls, as those who 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 that we have a good conscience, in all things desiring to live honestly.
19. But I plead with you even more to do this, so that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20. Now may the God of peace, who brought back 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 well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
22. And I plead with you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter to you in few words.
23. Know that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.
24. Greet all those who have the rule over you, and all the saints. Those of Italy greet you.
25. Grace be with you all. Amen.
