Hebrews 13: 1-9 Let us be hospitable even with our own body

Let brotherly love continue. Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body. Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers. Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.” So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Don’t be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by food, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited. We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat. For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside of the camp. Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate. Let us therefore go out to him outside of the camp, bearing his reproach. For we don’t have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come. If Jesus if for me, who can be against me? Let us show compassion as though we ourselves suffer their affliction in our own body. Let us be hospitable to others because God tests us by sending angels. Let us not raise our eyes to the doctrine of men but instead cling to the gospel of grace as our only and sure hope. Finally, let us be sanctified in the blood of Christ who saved us with his own body Footnotes:Hebrews 13:5 Deuteronomy Hebrews 13:6 Psalm 118:6-Hebrews 13:11 Leviticus 16:27
