Worship That Pleases God13 1Continue loving each other as brothers and sisters in Christ. 2Always remember to help people by welcoming them into your home. Some people have done that and have helped angels without knowing it. 3Don'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.
4Marriage 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 adulterya. 5Keep 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."b | |
6So we can feel sure and say,
| "The Lord is my helper;
I will not be afraid.
People can do nothing to me."c | |
7Remember your leaders. They taught God's message to you. Remember how they lived and died, and copy their faith. 8Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 9Don't let all kinds of strange teachings lead you into the wrong way. Depend only on God's graced for spiritual strength, not on rules about foods. Obeying those rules doesn't help anyone.
10We have a sacrificee. And those priests who serve in the Holy Tentf cannot eat from the sacrifice we have. 11The high priestg carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Placeh and offers that blood for sins. But the bodies of those animals are burned outside the camp. 12So Jesus also suffered outside the city. He died to make his people holyi with his own blood. 13So we should go to Jesus outside the camp and accept the same shame that he had. 14Here 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. 15So through Jesus we should never stop offering our sacrificee to God. That sacrifice is our praise, coming from lips that speak his name. 16And don't forget to do good and to share what you have with others, because sacrifices like these are very pleasing to God.
17Obey your leaders. Be willing to do what they say. They are responsible for your spiritual welfare, so they are always watching to protect you. Obey them so that their work will give them joy, not grief. It won't help you to make it hard for them.
18Continue praying for us. We feel right about what we do, because we always try to do what is best. 19And I beg you to pray that God will send me back to you soon. I want this more than anything else. 20-21I pray that the God of peace will give you every good thing you need so that you can do what he wants. God is the one who raised from death our Lord Jesus, the Great Shepherd of his sheep. He raised him because Jesus sacrificed his blood to begin the new agreementj that never ends. I pray that God will work through Jesus Christ to do the things in us that please him. To him be gloryk forever. Amenl.
22My brothers and sisters, I beg you to listen patiently to what I have said. I wrote this letter to strengthen you. And it is not very long. 23I want you to know that our brother Timothy is out of prison. If he comes to me soon, we will both come to see you.
24Give my greetings to all your leaders and to all God's people. All those from Italy send you their greetings.
25God's grace be with you all.

e13:10 sacrifice Literally, “altar.” Here, it means the sacrifice (offering) of Jesus. He gave his life to pay for people’s sins.
fHoly Tent Or “Tabernacle,” the special tent described in the Law of Moses, where God lived among his people and where the Israelite priests performed their worship duties. It was often called the “Meeting Tent” because it was where the Israelites went to meet with God. It was used until Solomon built the Temple in Jerusalem.
ghigh priest The most important priest and leader of the Israelites or the Jews, God’s people under the “old agreement.” Under the “new agreement” the high priest for God’s people is Jesus Christ. Read Heb. 7:11-8:13.

iholy When referring to people or things, holy means set apart or chosen for a special use; especially, belonging to God or used only for him. It can also mean pure or perfect, worthy of God and fit for his service. When God is called holy, in addition to the idea of pure and perfect, it often means he is completely separate or different from and above everything else that exists. In the New Testament God’s people are holy because they have been made perfect and pure through Christ and, with the help of the Holy Spirit, keep themselves away from sin and live only for God.
jnew agreement The “better agreement” that God has given to his people through Jesus Christ. See “agreement.”
kglory A word that refers to the special qualities of God. Often it means brightness, referring to the way he appears to people. Sometimes it means majesty or power, referring to a kind of greatness that cannot be compared to anything in human experience. It can also include the ideas of wealth, honor, fame, or respect, especially in expressions of praise.
lAmen A Hebrew word meaning “That’s right,” “True,” or “Yes.” It is used to express strong agreement with what has been said.
