13:1

Η φιλαδελφια μενετω

Let love of the brethren continue.

13:2

της φιλοξενιας μη επιλανθανεσθε δια ταυτης γαρ ελαθον τινες ξενισαντες αγγελους

Forget not to show love unto strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

13:3

μιμνησκεσθε των δεσμιων ως συνδεδεμενοι των κακουχουμενων ως και αυτοι οντες εν σωματι

Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; them that are ill-treated, as being yourselves also in the body.

13:4

Τιμιος ο γαμος εν πασιν και η κοιτη αμιαντος πορνους γαρ και μοιχους κρινει ο Θεος

Let marriage be had in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

13:5

Αφιλαργυρος ο τροπος αρκουμενοι τοις παρουσιν αυτος γαρ ειρηκεν Ου μη σε ανω ουδ ου μη σε εγκαταλιπω

Be ye free from the love of money; content with such things as ye have: for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee.

13:6

Ωστε θαρρουντας ημας λεγειν Κυριος εμοι βοηθος και ου φοβηθησομαι τι ποιησει μοι ανθρωπος

So that with good courage we say, The Lord is my helper; I will not fear: What shall man do unto me?

13:7

Μνημονευετε των ηγουμενων υμων οιτινες ελαλησαν υμιν τον λογον του Θεου ων αναθεωρουντες την εκβασιν της αναστροφης μιμεισθε την πιστιν

Remember them that had the rule over you, men that spake unto you the word of God; and considering the issue of their life, imitate their faith.

13:8

Ιησους Χριστος εχθες και σημερον ο αυτος και εις τους αιωνας

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day, yea and for ever.

13:9

Διδαχαις ποικιλαις και ξεναις μη παραφερεσθε καλον γαρ χαριτι βεβαιουσθαι την καρδιαν ου βρωμασιν εν οις ουκ ωφεληθησαν οι περιπατουντες

Be not carried away by divers and strange teachings: for it is good that the heart be established by grace; not by meats, wherein they that occupied themselves were not profited.

13:10

Εχομεν θυσιαστηριον εξ ου φαγειν ουκ εχουσιν εξουσιαν οι τη σκηνη λατρευοντες

We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat that serve the tabernacle.

13:11

Ων γαρ εισφερεται ζωων το αιμα περι αμαρτιας εις τα αγια δια του αρχιερεως τουτων τα σωματα κατακαιεται εξω της παρεμβολης

For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned without the camp.

13:12

διο και Ιησους ινα αγιαση δια του ιδιου αιματος τον λαον εξω της πυλης επαθεν

Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered without the gate.

13:13

τοινυν εξερχωμεθα προς αυτον εξω της παρεμβολης τον ονειδισμον αυτου φεροντες

Let us therefore go forth unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

13:14

ου γαρ εχομεν ωδε μενουσαν πολιν αλλα την μελλουσαν επιζητουμεν

For we have not here an abiding city, but we seek after the city which is to come.

13:15

Δι αυτου ουν αναφερωμεν θυσιαν αινεσεως δια παντος τω Θεω τουτ εστιν καρπον χειλεων ομολογουντων τω ονοματι αυτου

Through him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to his name.

13:16

της δε ευποιιας και κοινωνιας μη επιλανθανεσθε τοιαυταις γαρ θυσιαις ευαρεστειται ο Θεος

But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

13:17

Πειθεσθε τοις ηγουμενοις υμων και υπεικετε αυτοι γαρ αγρυπνουσιν υπερ των ψυχων υμων ως λογον αποδωσοντες ινα μετα χαρας τουτο ποιωσιν και μη στεναζοντες αλυσιτελες γαρ υμιν τουτο

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit to them: for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this were unprofitable for you.

13:18

Προσευχεσθε περι ημων πειθομεθα γαρ οτι καλην συνειδησιν εχομεν εν πασιν καλως θελοντες αναστρεφεσθαι

Pray for us: for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.

13:19

περισσοτερως δε παρακαλω τουτο ποιησαι ινα ταχιον αποκατασταθω υμιν

And I exhort you the more exceedingly to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

13:20

Ο δε Θεος της ειρηνης ο αναγαγων εκ νεκρων τον ποιμενα των προβατων τον μεγαν εν αιματι διαθηκης αιωνιου τον Κυριον ημων Ιησουν

Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, even our Lord Jesus,

13:21

καταρτισαι υμας εν παντι αγαθω εις το ποιησαι το θελημα αυτου ποιων εν ημιν το ευαρεστον ενωπιον αυτου δια Ιησου Χριστου ω η δοξα εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων αμην

make you perfect in every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

13:22

Παρακαλω δε υμας αδελφοι ανεχεσθε του λογου της παρακλησεως και γαρ δια βραχεων επεστειλα υμιν

But I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation: for I have written unto you in few words.

13:23

Γινωσκετε τον αδελφον ημων Τιμοθεον απολελυμενον μεθ ου εαν ταχιον ερχηται οψομαι υμας

Know ye that our brother Timothy hath been set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

13:24

Ασπασασθε παντας τους ηγουμενους υμων και παντας τους αγιους Ασπαζονται υμας οι απο της Ιταλιας

Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.

13:25

Η χαρις μετα παντων υμων

Grace be with you all. Amen.
