1Let brotherly love continue.

2Be not forgetful to be kind to(lodge) strangers. For thereby have divers received angels into their houses unawares.

3Remember them that are in bonds, even as though ye were bound (bond) with them. Be mindful of them which are in adversity, as ye which are yet in your bodies.

4Let wedlock be had in price in all points, and let the chamber be undefiled: for whore keepers and advoutrers God will judge.

5Let your conversation be without covetousness, and be content with that ye have already. For he verily said: I will not fail thee, neither forsake thee:

6that we may boldly say: The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man doeth unto me.

7Remember them which have the oversight of you, which have declared unto you the word of God: consider the conversation of their living, and counterfeit their faith.(The end of whose conversation see that ye look upon, and follow their faith.)

8Jesus Christ yesterday and today, and the same continueth for ever.

9Be not carried thither(about) with divers and strange learning.(learnings) For it is a good thing that the heart be stablished with grace, and not with meats, which have not profited them that have had their pastime in them.

10We have an altar whereof they may not eat(they have no power to eat) which serve in the tabernacle.

11For the bodies of those beasts (whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest to purge sin) are burnt without the tents.

12Therefore Jesus, to sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered with out the gate.

13Let us go forth therefore out of the tents, and suffer rebuke with him.

14For here have we no continuing city: but we seek a city(one) to come.

15For by him offer we the sacrifice of laud(praise) always to God: that is to say the fruit of those lips, which confess his name.

16To do good, and to distribute forget not, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

17Obey them that have the oversight of you, and submit yourselves to them, for they watch for your souls, even as they should(that must) give accounts(acomptes) for them: that they may do it with joy, and not with grief. For that is an unprofitable thing for you.

18Pray for us. We have confidence because we have a good conscience in all things, and desire to live honestly.

19I desire you therefore somewhat the more abundantly, that ye so do, that I may be restored to you quickly.(the more quickly)

20The God of peace that brought again from death our Lord Jesus Christ, the great shepherd of the sheep, thorow the blood of the everlasting testament,

21make you perfect in all works, to do his will, and bring to pass, that whatsoever ye do, may be accepted in his sight, by the means of Jesus Christ.(make you perfect in all good works, to do his will, working in you that which is pleasant in his sight thorow Iesus Christ) To whom be praise for ever while the world endureth Amen.

22I beseech you brethren, suffer the words of exhortation: For we have written unto you in few words.

23Know the brother Timothy, whom we have sent from us, with whom (if he come shortly) I will see you.

24Salute them that have the oversight of you, and all the saints. They(The Brethren) of Italy, salute you.

25Grace be with you all Amen. [Here endeth the epistle of saint Paul unto the Hebrews, Sent from Italy by Timotheous.]
