Hebrews 13:1-13 Good News Bible (GNB)

1. Keep on loving one another as Christian brothers and sisters.

2. Remember to welcome strangers in your homes. There were some who did that and welcomed angels without knowing it.

3. Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them. Remember those who are suffering, as though you were suffering as they are.

4. Marriage is to be honoured by all, and husbands and wives must be faithful to each other. God will judge those who are immoral and those who commit adultery.

5. Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never leave you; I will never abandon you.”

6. Let us be bold, then, and say:“The Lord is my helper,I will not be afraid.What can anyone do to me?”

7. Remember your former leaders, who spoke God's message to you. Think back on how they lived and died, and imitate their faith.

8. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and for ever.

9. Do not let all kinds of strange teachings lead you from the right way. It is good to receive inner strength from God's grace, and not by obeying rules about foods; those who obey these rules have not been helped by them.

10. The priests who serve in the Jewish place of worship have no right to eat any of the sacrifice on our altar.

11. The Jewish High Priest brings the blood of the animals into the Most Holy Place to offer it as a sacrifice for sins; but the bodies of the animals are burnt outside the camp.

12. For this reason Jesus also died outside the city, in order to purify the people from sin with his own blood.

13. Let us, then, go to him outside the camp and share his shame.
