¹Let brotherly love continue.

KJVLet^G3306 brotherly love^G5360 continue^G3306^(G5720).

² Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.

KJVBe^G1950 not^G3361 forgetful^G1950^(G5737) to entertain strangers^G5381: for^G1063 thereby^G1223^G5026 some^G5100 have entertained^G3579^(G5660) angels^G32 unawares^G2990^(G5627).

³ Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body.

KJVRemember^G3403^(G5737) them that are in bonds^G1198, as^G5613 bound with them^G4887^(G5772); and them which suffer adversity^G2558^(G5746), as^G5613 being^G5607^(G5752) yourselves^G846 also^G2532 in^G1722 the body^G4983.

⁴ Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

KJVMarriage^G1062 is honourable^G5093 in^G1722 all^G3956, and^G2532 the bed^G2845 undefiled^G283: but^G1161 whoremongers^G4205 and^G2532 adulterers^G3432 God^G2316 will judge^G2919^(G5692)^(G5719).

⁵ Be 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.”

KJVLet your conversation^G5158 be without covetousness^G866; and be content^G714^(G5746) with such things as ye have^G3918^(G5752): for^G1063 he^G846 hath said^G2046^(G5758), I will never^G3364 leave^G447^(G5632) thee^G4571, nor^G3761^G3364 forsake^G1459^(G5632) thee^G4571.

⁶ So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

KJVSo that^G5620 we^G2248 may boldly^G2292^(G5723) say^G3004^(G5721), The Lord^G2962 is my^G1698 helper^G998, and^G2532 I will^G5399 not^G3756 fear^G5399^(G5700) what^G5101 man^G444 shall do^G4160^(G5692) unto me^G3427.

⁷ Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith.

KJVRemember^G3421^(G5720) them which have the rule^G2233^(G5740) over you^G5216, who^G3748 have spoken^G2980^(G5656) unto you^G5213 the word^G3056 of God^G2316: whose^G3739 faith^G4102 follow^G3401^(G5737), considering^G333^(G5723) the end^G1545 of their conversation^G391.

⁸ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

KJVJesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 the same^G846 yesterday^G5504, and^G2532 to day^G4594, and^G2532 for^G1519 ever^G165.

⁹ Don’t be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

KJVBe^G4064 not^G3361 carried about^G4064^(G5744) with divers^G4164 and^G2532 strange^G3581 doctrines^G1322. For^G1063 it is a good thing^G2570 that the heart^G2588 be established^G950^(G5745) with grace^G5485; not^G3756 with meats^G1033, which have^G5623 not^G3756 profited^G5623^(G5681) them that have been occupied^G4043^(G5660) therein^G1722^G3739.

¹⁰ We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat.

KJVWe have^G2192^(G5719) an altar^G2379, whereof^G1537^G3739 they have^G2192^(G5719) no^G3756 right^G1849 to eat^G5315^(G5629) which serve^G3000^(G5723) the tabernacle^G4633.

¹¹ For 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.

KJVFor^G1063 the bodies^G4983 of those^G5130 beasts^G2226, whose^G3739 blood^G129 is brought^G1533^(G5743) into^G1519 the sanctuary^G39 by^G1223 the high priest^G749 for^G4012 sin^G266, are burned^G2618^(G5743) without^G1854 the camp^G3925.

¹² Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate.

KJVWherefore^G1352 Jesus^G2424 also^G2532, that^G2443 he might sanctify^G37^(G5661) the people^G2992 with^G1223 his own^G2398 blood^G129, suffered^G3958^(G5627) without^G1854 the gate^G4439.

¹³ Let’s therefore go out to him outside of the camp, bearing his reproach.

KJVLet us go forth^G1831^(G5741) therefore^G5106 unto^G4314 him^G846 without^G1854 the camp^G3925, bearing^G5342^(G5723) his^G846 reproach^G3680.

¹⁴ For we don’t have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come.

KJVFor^G1063 here^G5602 have we^G2192^(G5719) no^G3756 continuing^G3306^(G5723) city^G4172, but^G235 we seek one^G1934^(G5719) to come^G3195^(G5723).

¹⁵ Through him, then, let’s offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance to his name.

KJVBy^G1223 him^G846 therefore^G3767 let us offer^G399^(G5725) the sacrifice^G2378 of praise^G133 to God^G2316 continually^G1275, that is^G5123^(G5748), the fruit^G2590 of our lips^G5491 giving thanks^G3670^(G5723) to his^G846 name^G3686.

¹⁶ But don’t forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

KJVBut^G1161 to do good^G2140 and^G2532 to communicate^G2842 forget^G1950^(G5737) not^G3361: for^G1063 with such^G5108 sacrifices^G2378 God^G2316 is well pleased^G2100^(G5743).

¹⁷ Obey 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.

KJVObey^G3982^(G5732) them that have the rule^G2233^(G5740) over you^G5216, and^G2532 submit yourselves^G5226^(G5720): for^G1063 they^G846 watch^G69^(G5719) for^G5228 your^G5216 souls^G5590, as^G5613 they that must give^G591^(G5694) account^G3056, that^G2443 they may do^G4160^(G5725) it^G5124 with^G3326 joy^G5479, and^G2532 not^G3361 with grief^G4727^(G5723): for^G1063 that^G5124 is unprofitable^G255 for you^G5213.

¹⁸ Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.

KJVPray^G4336^(G5737) for^G4012 us^G2257: for^G1063^G3754 we trust^G3982^(G5754) we have^G2192^(G5719) a good^G2570 conscience^G4893, in^G1722 all things^G3956 willing^G2309^(G5723) to live^G390^(G5745) honestly^G2573.

¹⁹ I strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you sooner.

KJVBut^G1161 I beseech^G3870^(G5719) you the rather^G4056 to do^G4160^(G5658) this^G5124, that^G2443 I may be restored^G600^(G5686) to you^G5213 the sooner^G5032.

²⁰ Now 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,

KJVNow^G1161 the God^G2316 of peace^G1515, that brought again^G321^(G5631) from^G1537 the dead^G3498 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424, that great^G3173 shepherd^G4166 of the sheep^G4263, through^G1722 the blood^G129 of the everlasting^G166 covenant^G1242,

²¹ make 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.

KJVMake^G2675 you^G5209 perfect^G2675^(G5659) in^G1722 every^G3956 good^G18 work^G2041 to^G1519 do^G4160^(G5658) his^G846 will^G2307, working^G4160^(G5723) in^G1722 you^G5213 that which is wellpleasing^G2101 in his^G846 sight^G1799, through^G1223 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547; to whom^G3739 be glory^G1391 for^G1519 ever^G165 and ever^G165. Amen^G281.

²² But I exhort you, brothers, endure the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.

KJVAnd^G1161 I beseech^G3870^(G5719) you^G5209, brethren^G80, suffer^G430^(G5737) the word^G3056 of exhortation^G3874: for^G1063^G2532 I have written a letter^G1989^(G5656) unto you^G5213 in^G1223 few words^G1024.

²³ Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.

KJVKnow ye^G1097^(G5719) that our brother^G80 Timothy^G5095 is set at liberty^G630^(G5772); with^G3326 whom^G3739, if^G1437 he come^G2064^(G5741) shortly^G5032, I will see^G3700^(G5695) you^G5209.

²⁴ Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. The Italians greet you.

KJVSalute^G782^(G5663) all^G3956 them that have the rule^G2233^(G5740) over you^G5216, and^G2532 all^G3956 the saints^G40. They of^G575 Italy^G2482 salute^G782^(G5736) you^G5209.

²⁵ Grace be with you all. Amen.

KJVGrace^G5485 be with^G3326 you^G5216 all^G3956. Amen^G281. Written^G1125^(G5648) to^G4314 the Hebrews^G1445 from^G575 Italy^G2482, by^G1223 Timothy^G5095.

WEB·Hebrews 12

¹Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

KJVWherefore^G5105 seeing we also^G2532 are^G2192^(G5723) compassed about^G4029^(G5740)^G2254 with so great^G5118 a cloud^G3509 of witnesses^G3144, let^G659 us^G2249 lay aside^G659^(G5642) every^G3956 weight^G3591, and^G2532 the sin^G266 which doth so easily beset^G2139 us, and let us run^G5143^(G5725) with^G1223 patience^G5281 the race^G73 that is set before^G4295^(G5740) us^G2254,

² looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

KJVLooking^G872^(G5723) unto^G1519 Jesus^G2424 the author^G747 and^G2532 finisher^G5051 of our faith^G4102; who^G3739 for^G473 the joy^G5479 that was set before^G4295^(G5740) him^G846 endured^G5278^(G5656) the cross^G4716, despising^G2706^(G5660) the shame^G152, and^G5037 is set down^G2523^(G5656) at^G1722 the right hand^G1188 of the throne^G2362 of God^G2316.

³ For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

KJVFor^G1063 consider^G357^(G5663) him that endured^G5278^(G5761) such^G5108 contradiction^G485 of^G5259 sinners^G268 against^G1519 himself^G846, lest^G3363 ye be wearied^G2577^(G5632) and faint^G1590^(G5746) in your^G5216 minds^G5590.

⁴ You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.

KJVYe have^G478 not yet^G3768 resisted^G478^(G5627) unto^G3360 blood^G129, striving^G464^(G5740) against^G4314 sin^G266.

⁵ You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;

KJVAnd^G2532 ye have forgotten^G1585^(G5769) the exhortation^G3874 which^G3748 speaketh^G1256^(G5736) unto you^G5213 as^G5613 unto children^G5207, My^G3450 son^G5207, despise^G3643 not^G3361 thou^G3643^(G5720) the chastening^G3809 of the Lord^G2962, nor^G3366 faint^G1590^(G5744) when thou art rebuked^G1651^(G5746) of^G5259 him^G846:

⁶ for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”

KJVFor^G1063 whom^G3739 the Lord^G2962 loveth^G25^(G5719) he chasteneth^G3811^(G5719), and^G1161 scourgeth^G3146^(G5719) every^G3956 son^G5207 whom^G3739 he receiveth^G3858^(G5736).

⁷ It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?

KJVIf^G1487 ye endure^G5278^(G5719) chastening^G3809, God^G2316 dealeth^G4374^(G5743) with you^G5213 as^G5613 with sons^G5207; for^G1063 what^G5101 son^G5207 is he^G2076^(G5748) whom^G3739 the father^G3962 chasteneth^G3811^(G5719) not^G3756?

⁸ But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.

KJVBut^G1161 if^G1487 ye be^G2075^(G5748) without^G5565 chastisement^G3809, whereof^G3739 all^G3956 are^G1096^(G5754) partakers^G3353, then^G686 are ye^G2075^(G5748) bastards^G3541, and^G2532 not^G3756 sons^G5207.

⁹ Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?

KJVFurthermore^G1534^G3303 we have had^G2192^(G5707) fathers^G3962 of our^G2257 flesh^G4561 which corrected^G3810 us, and^G2532 we gave them reverence^G1788^(G5710): shall we^G5293 not^G3756 much^G4183 rather^G3123 be in subjection^G5293^(G5691) unto the Father^G3962 of spirits^G4151, and^G2532 live^G2198^(G5692)?

¹⁰ For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.

KJVFor^G1063 they verily^G3303 for^G4314 a few^G3641 days^G2250 chastened^G3811^(G5707) us after^G2596 their own^G846 pleasure^G1380^(G5723); but^G1161 he for^G1909 our profit^G4851^(G5723), that^G1519 we might be partakers^G3335^(G5629) of his^G846 holiness^G41.

¹¹ All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

KJVNow^G1161 no^G3956^G3756 chastening^G3809 for^G4314^G3303 the present^G3918^(G5752) seemeth^G1380^(G5719) to be^G1511^(G5750) joyous^G5479, but^G235 grievous^G3077: nevertheless^G1161 afterward^G5305 it yieldeth^G591^(G5719) the peaceable^G1516 fruit^G2590 of righteousness^G1343 unto them which are exercised^G1128^(G5772) thereby^G1223^G846.

¹² Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,

KJVWherefore^G1352 lift up^G461^(G5657) the hands^G5495 which hang down^G3935^(G5772), and^G2532 the feeble^G3886^(G5772) knees^G1119;

¹³ and make straight paths for your feet, so what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

KJVAnd^G2532 make^G4160^(G5657) straight^G3717 paths^G5163 for your^G5216 feet^G4228, lest that^G3363 which is lame^G5560 be turned out of the way^G1624^(G5652); but^G1161 let it^G2390 rather^G3123 be healed^G2390^(G5686).

¹⁴ Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,

KJVFollow^G1377^(G5720) peace^G1515 with^G3326 all^G3956 men, and^G2532 holiness^G38, without^G5565 which^G3739 no man^G3762 shall see^G3700^(G5695) the Lord^G2962:

¹⁵ looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you and many be defiled by it,

KJVLooking diligently^G1983^(G5723) lest^G3361 any man^G5100 fail^G5302^(G5723) of^G575 the grace^G5485 of God^G2316; lest^G3361 any^G5100 root^G4491 of bitterness^G4088 springing^G5453^(G5723) up^G507 trouble^G1776^(G5725) you, and^G2532 thereby^G1223^G5026 many^G4183 be defiled^G3392^(G5686);

¹⁶ lest there be any sexually immoral person or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.

KJVLest^G3361 there be any^G5100 fornicator^G4205, or^G2228 profane person^G952, as^G5613 Esau^G2269, who^G3739 for^G473 one^G3391 morsel of meat^G1035 sold^G591^(G5639) his^G846 birthright^G4415.

¹⁷ For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.

KJVFor^G1063 ye know^G2467^(G5759) how^G3754 that afterward^G2532^G3347, when he would^G2309^(G5723) have inherited^G2816^(G5658) the blessing^G2129, he was rejected^G593^(G5681): for^G1063 he found^G2147^(G5627) no^G3756 place^G5117 of repentance^G3341, though^G2539 he sought^G1567 it^G846 carefully^G1567^(G5660) with^G3326 tears^G1144.

¹⁸ For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,

KJVFor^G1063 ye are^G4334 not^G3756 come^G4334^(G5754) unto the mount^G3735 that might be touched^G5584^(G5746), and^G2532 that burned^G2545^(G5772) with fire^G4442, nor^G2532 unto blackness^G1105, and^G2532 darkness^G4655, and^G2532 tempest^G2366,

¹⁹ the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,

KJVAnd^G2532 the sound^G2279 of a trumpet^G4536, and^G2532 the voice^G5456 of words^G4487; which^G3739 voice they that heard^G191^(G5660) intreated^G3868^(G5662) that the word^G3056 should^G4369 not^G3361 be spoken^G4369^(G5683) to them^G846 any more^G3361:

²⁰ for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned”.

KJV(For^G1063 they could^G5342 not^G3756 endure^G5342^(G5707) that which was commanded^G1291^(G5746), And if so much as^G2579 a beast^G2342 touch^G2345^(G5632) the mountain^G3735, it shall be stoned^G3036^(G5701), or^G2228 thrust through^G2700^(G5701) with a dart^G1002:

²¹ So fearful was the appearance that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”

KJVAnd^G2532 so^G3779 terrible^G5398 was^G2258^(G5713) the sight^G5324^(G5746), that Moses^G3475 said^G2036^(G5627), I exceedingly fear^G1630^G1510^(G5748) and^G2532 quake^G1790:)

²² But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,

KJVBut^G235 ye are come^G4334^(G5754) unto mount^G3735 Sion^G4622, and^G2532 unto the city^G4172 of the living^G2198^(G5723) God^G2316, the heavenly^G2032 Jerusalem^G2419, and^G2532 to an innumerable company^G3461 of angels^G32,

²³ to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,

KJVTo the general assembly^G3831 and^G2532 church^G1577 of the firstborn^G4416, which are written^G583^(G5772) in^G1722 heaven^G3772, and^G2532 to God^G2316 the Judge^G2923 of all^G3956, and^G2532 to the spirits^G4151 of just men^G1342 made perfect^G5048^(G5772),

²⁴ to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.

KJVAnd^G2532 to Jesus^G2424 the mediator^G3316 of the new^G3501 covenant^G1242, and^G2532 to the blood^G129 of sprinkling^G4473, that speaketh^G2980^(G5723) better things^G2909 than^G3844 that of Abel^G6.

²⁵ See that you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,

KJVSee^G991^(G5720) that ye refuse^G3868^(G5667) not^G3361 him that speaketh^G2980^(G5723). For^G1063 if^G1487 they^G1565 escaped^G5343^(G5627) not^G3756 who refused him^G3868^(G5666) that spake^G5537^(G5723) on^G1909 earth^G1093, much^G4183 more^G3123 shall not we^G2249 escape, if we turn away from him^G654^(G5734) that speaketh from^G575 heaven^G3772:

²⁶ whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.”

KJVWhose^G3739 voice^G5456 then^G5119 shook^G4531^(G5656) the earth^G1093: but^G1161 now^G3568 he hath promised^G1861^(G5766), saying^G3004^(G5723), Yet^G2089 once more^G530 I^G1473 shake^G4579^(G5719) not^G3756 the earth^G1093 only^G3440, but^G235 also^G2532 heaven^G3772.

²⁷ This phrase, “Yet once more” signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.

KJVAnd^G1161 this word, Yet^G2089 once more^G530, signifieth^G1213^(G5719) the removing^G3331 of those things that are shaken^G4531^(G5746), as^G5613 of things that are made^G4160^(G5772), that^G2443 those things which cannot^G3361 be shaken^G4531^(G5746) may remain^G3306^(G5661).

²⁸ Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,

KJVWherefore^G1352 we receiving^G3880^(G5723) a kingdom^G932 which cannot be moved^G761, let us have^G2192^(G5725) grace^G5485, whereby^G1223^G3739 we may serve^G3000^(G5725) God^G2316 acceptably^G2102 with^G3326 reverence^G127 and^G2532 godly fear^G2124:

²⁹ for our God is a consuming fire.

KJVFor^G2532^G1063 our^G2257 God^G2316 is a consuming^G2654^(G5723) fire^G4442.
