Hebrews 13
Reading Hebrews chapter 13 in the Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, public-domain text from 1899.
Verses 1–10
1 Let the charity of the brotherhood abide in you.
2 And hospitality do not forget: for by this some, being not aware of it, have entertained angels.
3 Remember them that are in bands, as if you were bound with them: and them that labour, as being yourselves also in the body.
4 Marriage honourable in all, and the bed undefiled. For fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
5 Let your manners be without covetousness, contented with such things as you have. For he hath said: I will not leave thee: neither will I forsake thee.
6 So that we may confidently say: The Lord is my helper: I will not fear what man shall do to me.
7 Remember your prelates who have spoken the word of God to you: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation,
8 Jesus Christ, yesterday, and today: and the same for ever.
9 Be not led away with various and strange doctrines. For it is best that the heart be established with grace, not with meats: which have not profited those that walk in them.
10 We have an altar whereof they have no power to eat who serve the tabernacle.
