Do not forget to show love to strangers, for by doing this some have entertained angels without knowing it.
Remember those who are in prison, as if you were in prison with them; those who are mistreated, as if you yourselves were also suffering bodily.
Marriage must be held in honor by everyone, and the marriage bed must be undefiled, for sexually immoral people and adulterers God will judge.
Keep your life free from the love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, I will absolutely not fail you, and I will absolutely not forsake you.
So we can confidently say, The Lord is my helper, I will not fear. What can man do to me?
Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Carefully observe the outcome of their way of life and imitate their trust.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
Do not be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good for our hearts to be established by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those who stay occupied with them.
We have an altar from which those who serve in the tent have no right to eat.
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 the camp.

Therefore, let us go to him outside the camp, bearing the reproach he endured.
For we do not have a permanent city here, but we are seeking the city that is to come.
Through him then, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips that make confession to his name.
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
Yield to those who are leading you, and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do that with joy, and not with groaning, for that is of no advantage to you.
Keep praying for us! For we are persuaded that we have a good conscience because we desire to live honorably in all things.
And I especially urge you to do this so that I can be restored to you the sooner.
Benediction
Now may the God of peace, who brought up the great shepherd of the sheep—our Lord Jesus—from among the dead, in connection with the blood of the everlasting covenant,
equip you with every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Final Greetings
Now I exhort you, brothers and sisters, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you in only a few words.
Be aware that our brother Timothy has been set at liberty, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.
Greet all your leaders and all the holy ones. The ones from Italy greet you.
