IḆRIM 13

1 Let the brotherly love continue.

2 Do not forget to receive strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained messengers.

3 Remember the prisoners as if chained with them, and those being mistreated, since you yourselves also are in the Body.

4 Let marriage be respected by all, and the bed be undefiled. But Elohim shall judge those who whore, and adulterers.

5 In manner, be without covetousness, and be satisfied with what you have. For He Himself has said, “I shall never leave you nor forsake you,”

6 so that we boldly say, “𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is my helper, I shall not fear what man shall do to me.”

7 Remember those leading you, who spoke the Word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 to you. Consider the outcome of their behaviour and imitate their belief.

8 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 ha’Mashiaḥ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever.

9 Do not be borne about by various and strange teachings. For it is good for the heart to be established by favour, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.

10 We have an altar from which those serving the Tent have no authority to eat.

11 For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the Miqdash by the kohĕn ha’gadol for sin, are burned outside the camp.

12 And so 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 also suffered outside the gate, to qadosh the people with His own blood.

13 Let us, then, go to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.

14 For we have no lasting city here, but we seek the one coming.

15 Through Him then, let us continually offer up a slaughter offering of praise to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His Name.

16 And do not forget to do good and to share, for with such slaughter offerings Elohim is well pleased.

17 Obey those leading you, and be subject, for they watch for your lives, as having to give account. Let them do so with joy and not groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.

18 Pray for us, for we trust that we have a good conscience, desiring to behave well in every way.

19 But I particularly encourage you to do this, that I might be restored to you the sooner.

20 And the Elohim of peace who brought up our Aḏon 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting Covenant,

21 make you perfect in every good work to do His desire, working in you what is pleasing in His sight, through 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 ha’Mashiaḥ, to whom be esteem forever and ever. Amĕn.

22 And I call upon you, brothers, bear with the word of encouragement for I have written to you in few words.

23 Know that brother Timotiyos has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes shortly.

24 Greet all those leading you, and all the qodeshim. Those from Italia greet you.

25 Favour be with you all. Amĕn.
