Hebreus 13

1Permaneça o amor fraternal. 2Não vos esqueçais de mostrardes hospitalidade, porque através dela alguns, sem saber, acolheram anjos. 3Lembrai-vos dos prisoneiros, como se estivésseis presos com eles; e dos que são maltratados, como se vós mesmos também estivessem sendo em vossos corpos. 4O matrimônio seja honrado entre todos, e o leito conjugal sem contaminação; pois Deus julgará os pecadores sexuais e os adúlteros. 5A vossa maneira de viver seja sem ganância, contentando-vos com as coisas que tendes. Pois ele disse: Não te deixarei, nem te desampararei. 6De maneira que devemos ter a confiança de dizer: O Senhor é meu ajudador; não temerei o que o ser humano poderá fazer a mim. 7Lembrai-vos de vossos líderes, que vos falaram a palavra de Deus. Observai o resultado da maneira como viveram, e imitai a fé deles. 8Jesus Cristo é o mesmo ontem, hoje, e eternamente. 9Não vos deixeis levar por doutrinas várias e estranhas. Pois bom ao coração é ser fortificado pela graça, e não por alimentos, que não resultaram em proveito algum aos que com eles se ocupam. 10Temos um altar, do qual os que servem no tabernáculo não têm autoridade para comer; 11porque os corpos dos animais, cujo sangue pelo pecado é trazido ao Santuário pelo Sumo sacerdote, são queimados fora do acampamento. 12Por isso também Jesus, para santificar o povo pelo seu próprio sangue, sofreu fora do portão da cidade. 13Assim, saiamos até ele, fora do acampamento, carregando a sua humilhação. 14Pois não temos aqui cidade permanente, mas buscamos a futura. 15Portanto, por meio dele, ofereçamos continuamente sacrifício de louvor a Deus, isto é, o fruto dos lábios que declaram honra ao seu nome. 16E não vos esqueçais de fazer o bem e de compartilhar, pois Deus se agrada com tais sacrifícios. 17Obedecei aos vossos líderes, e sede submissos a eles ,pois eles vigiam pelas vossas almas, como os que prestarão contas delas ; para que o façam com alegria, e não gemendo, porque isso não vos seria proveitoso. 18Orai por nós; porque estamos convencidos de que temos boa consciência, e desejamos nos comportar da maneira correta em tudo. 19E eu vos rogo ainda mais que façais isto, para que eu vos seja restituído mais depressa. 20O Deus da paz, que, pelo sangue do eterno Testamento eterno, voltou a trazer dentre os mortos o grande Pastor das ovelhas, o nosso Senhor Jesus, 21vos aperfeiçoe em todo bem, para fazerdes a sua vontade, operando em nós o que é agradável diante dele, por meio de Jesus Cristo, a quem seja a glória para todo o sempre. Amém! 22Eu vos rogo, porém, irmãos, que suportai esta palavra de exortação; pois eu vos escrevi de maneira breve. 23Sabei que o nosso irmão Timóteo já está solto. Se ele vier depressa, com ele eu vos verei. 24Saudai a todos os vossos líderes, e a todos os santos. Os da Itália vos saúdam. 25A graça seja com todos vós.

1Let brotherly love continue. 2Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it. 3Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body. 4Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers. 5Be 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.” 6So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?” 7Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith. 8Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 9Don’t be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by food, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited. 10We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat. 11For 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. 12Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate. 13Let us therefore go out to him outside of the camp, bearing his reproach. 14For we don’t have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come. 15Through him, then, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance to his name. 16But don’t forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 17Obey 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. 18Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things. 19I strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you sooner. 20Now 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, 21make 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. 22But I exhort you, brothers, endure the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words. 23Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you. 24Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. The Italians greet you. 25Grace be with you all. Amen.

1Dat de broederlijke liefde blijve. 2Vergeet de herbergzaamheid niet; want hierdoor hebben sommigen onwetend engelen geherbergd. 3Gedenkt der gevangenen, alsof gij mede gevangen waart; en dergenen, die kwalijk gehandeld worden, alsof gij ook zelven in het lichaam kwalijk gehandeld waart. 4Het huwelijk is eerlijk onder allen, en het bed onbevlekt; maar hoereerders en overspelers zal God oordelen. 5Uw wandel zij zonder geldgierigheid; en zijt vergenoegd met het tegenwoordige; want Hij heeft gezegd: Ik zal u niet begeven, en Ik zal u niet verlaten. 6Zodat wij vrijmoediglijk durven zeggen: De Heere is mij een Helper, en ik zal niet vrezen, wat mij een mens zal doen. 7Gedenkt uwer voorgangeren, die u het Woord Gods gesproken hebben; en volgt hun geloof na, aanschouwende de uitkomst hunner wandeling. 8Jezus Christus is gisteren en heden dezelfde en in der eeuwigheid. 9Wordt niet omgevoerd met verscheidene en vreemde leringen; want het is goed, dat het hart gesterkt wordt door genade, niet door spijzen, door welke geen nuttigheid bekomen hebben, die daarin gewandeld hebben. 10Wij hebben een altaar, van hetwelk geen macht hebben te eten, die den tabernakel dienen. 11Want welker dieren bloed voor de zonde gedragen werd in het heiligdom door den hogepriester, derzelver lichamen werden verbrand buiten de legerplaats. 12Daarom heeft ook Jezus, opdat Hij door Zijn eigen bloed het volk zou heiligen, buiten de poort geleden. 13Zo laat ons dan tot Hem uitgaan buiten de legerplaats, Zijn smaadheid dragende. 14Want wij hebben hier geen blijvende stad, maar wij zoeken de toekomende. 15Laat ons dan door Hem altijd Gode opofferen een offerande des lofs, dat is, de vrucht der lippen, die Zijn Naam belijden. 16En vergeet de weldadigheid en de mededeelzaamheid niet; want aan zodanige offeranden heeft God een welbehagen. 17Zijt uw voorgangeren gehoorzaam, en zijt hun onderdanig; want zij waken voor uw zielen, als die rekenschap geven zullen; opdat zij dat doen mogen met vreugde en niet al zuchtende; want dat is u niet nuttig. 18Bidt voor ons; want wij vertrouwen, dat wij een goed geweten hebben, als die in alles willen eerlijk wandelen. 19En ik bid u te meer, dat gij dit doet, opdat ik te eerder ulieden moge wedergegeven worden. 20De God nu des vredes, Die den grote Herder der schapen, door het bloed des eeuwigen testaments, uit de doden heeft wedergebracht, namelijk onze Heere Jezus Christus, 21Die volmake u in alle goed werk, opdat gij Zijn wil moogt doen; werkende in u, hetgeen voor Hem welbehagelijk is, door Jezus Christus; Denwelken zij de heerlijkheid in alle eeuwigheid. Amen. 22Doch ik bid u, broeders, verdraagt het woord dezer vermaning; want ik heb u in het kort geschreven. 23Weet, dat de broeder Timotheus losgelaten is, met welken (zo hij haast komt) ik u zal zien. 24Groet al uw voorgangeren, en al de heiligen. U groeten die van Italie zijn. 25De genade zij met u allen. Amen.
