3. Don’t forget those who are in prison. Remember them as though you were in prison with them. And don’t forget those who are suffering. Remember them as though you were suffering with them.
4. Marriage should be honored by everyone. And every marriage should be kept pure between husband and wife. God will judge guilty those who commit sexual sins and adultery.
5. Keep your lives free from the love of money. And be satisfied with what you have. God has said, “I will never leave you; I will never run away from you.” Deuteronomy 31:6
6. So we can feel sure and say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. People can do nothing to me.” Psalm 118:6
7. Remember your leaders. They taught God’s message to you. Remember how they lived and died, and copy their faith.
8. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
9. Don’t let all kinds of strange teachings lead you into the wrong way. Depend only on God’s grace for spiritual strength, not on rules about foods. Obeying those rules doesn’t help anyone.
10. We have a sacrifice. And those priests who serve in the Holy Tent cannot eat from the sacrifice we have.
11. The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place and offers that blood for sins. But the bodies of those animals are burned outside the camp.
12. So Jesus also suffered outside the city. He died to make his people holy with his own blood.
13. So we should go to Jesus outside the camp and accept the same shame that he had.
14. Here on earth we don’t have a city that lasts forever. But we are waiting for the city that we will have in the future.
