New Testament

Hebrews 13:1-9 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. May fraternal charity remain in you.

2. And do not be willing to forget hospitality. For by it, certain persons, without realizing it, have received Angels as guests.

3. Remember those who are prisoners, just as if you were imprisoned with them, and those who endure hardships, just as if you were in their place.

4. May marriage be honorable in every way, and may the marriage bed be immaculate. For God will judge fornicators and adulterers.

5. Let your behavior be without avarice; be content with what you are offered. For he himself has said, "I will not abandon you, and I will not neglect you."

6. So then, we may confidently say, "The Lord is my helper. I will not fear what man can do to me."

7. Remember your leaders, who have spoken the Word of God to you, whose faith you imitate, by observing the goal of their way of life:

8. Jesus Christ, yesterday and today; Jesus Christ forever.

9. Do not be led away by changing or strange doctrines. And it is best for the heart to be sustained by grace, not by foods. For the latter have not been as useful to those who walked by them.
