Hebrews 13:1-6

Life Outside the Camp Under the Great Shepherd of the Sheep

Hebrews 13 moves from practical love and holiness, to confidence in God's presence, to faithful leadership and doctrinal stability, to bearing Christ's reproach outside the camp, to sacrificial worship and obedience, and finally to prayer, benediction, and greeting.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

1 Continue in brotherly love.

2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.

3 Remember those in prison as if you were bound with them, and those who are mistreated as if you were suffering with them.

4 Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”

6 So we say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”
