1 May love for each other as brothers and sisters always continue!
1 PERMANEZCA el amor fraternal.
1 Let brotherly love continue.
2 Don't forget to show love for strangers too, because by doing so some have welcomed angels without knowing it.
2 No olvidéis la hospitalidad, porque por ésta algunos, sin saberlo, hospedaron ángeles.
2 Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.
3 Remember those who are locked up in prison as if you were imprisoned with them. Remember those who are mistreated as if you were physically suffering with them.
3 Acordaos de los presos, como presos juntamente con ellos; y de los afligidos, como que también vosotros mismos sois del cuerpo.
3 Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body.
4 Everyone should honor marriage. Husbands and wives should be faithful to each other. God will judge adulterers.
4 Honroso es en todos el matrimonio, y el lecho sin mancilla; mas á los fornicarios y á los adúlteros juzgará Dios.
4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
5 Don't love money; be content with what you have. God himself has said, “I'll never let you down; I'll never give up on you.”
5 Sean las costumbres vuestras sin avaricia; contentos de lo presente; porque él dijo: No te desampararé, ni te dejaré.
5 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.”
6 That's why we can confidently say, “The Lord is the one who helps me, so I won't be afraid. What can anyone do to me?”
6 De tal manera que digamos confiadamente: El Señor es mi ayudador; no temeré lo que me hará el hombre.
6 So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”
7 Remember your leaders who explained God's word to you. Look again at the results of their lives, and imitate their trust in God.
7 Acordaos de vuestros pastores, que os hablaron la palabra de Dios; la fe de los cuales imitad, considerando cuál haya sido el éxito de su conducta.
7 Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith.
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
8 Jesucristo [es] el mismo ayer, y hoy, y por los siglos.
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
9 Don't get distracted by different kinds of strange teachings. It's good for the mind to be convinced by grace, not by laws concerning what we eat. Those who followed such laws didn't gain anything.
9 No seáis llevados de acá para allá por doctrinas diversas y extrañas; porque buena cosa es afirmar el corazón en la gracia, no en viandas, que nunca aprovecharon á los que anduvieron en ellas.
9 Don’t be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.
10 We have an altar that those priests of the Tabernacle have no right to eat from.
10 Tenemos un altar, del cual no tienen facultad de comer los que sirven al tabernáculo.
10 We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat.
11 The carcasses of the animals, whose blood is carried by the high priest into the most holy place as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp.
11 Porque los cuerpos de aquellos animales, la sangre de los cuales es metida por el pecado en el santuario por el pontífice, son quemados fuera del real.
11 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.
12 In the same way Jesus also died outside the city gate so that he could make God's people holy through his own blood.
12 Por lo cual también Jesús, para santificar al pueblo por su propia sangre, padeció fuera de la puerta.
12 Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate.
13 So let us go out to him, outside the camp, experiencing and sharing in his shame.
13 Salgamos pues á él fuera del real, llevando su vituperio.
13 Let’s therefore go out to him outside of the camp, bearing his reproach.
14 For we don't have a permanent city to live in here; we're looking for the home that is still to come.
14 Porque no tenemos aquí ciudad permanente, mas buscamos la por venir.
14 For we don’t have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come.
15 So let us through Jesus always offer a sacrifice of praise to God—this means speaking well of God, declaring his character.
15 Así que, ofrezcamos por medio de él á Dios siempre sacrificio de alabanza, es á saber, fruto de labios que confiesen á su nombre.
15 Through him, then, let’s offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance to his name.
16 And don't forget to do what is good, and to share with others what you have, for God is pleased when you make such sacrifices.
16 Y de hacer bien y de la comunicación no os olvidéis: porque de tales sacrificios se agrada Dios.
16 But don’t forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17 Follow your leaders, and do what they tell you, for they are watching out for you and are accountable. Act in such a way that they can do this happily—and not with sadness, for that wouldn't help you!
17 Obedeced á vuestros pastores, y sujetaos á ellos; porque ellos velan por vuestras almas, como aquellos que han de dar cuenta; para que lo hagan con alegría, y no gimiendo; porque esto no os es útil.
17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.
18 Please pray for us. We're convinced we have acted in good conscience, always wanting to do what's good and right in every situation.
18 Orad por nosotros: porque confiamos que tenemos buena conciencia, deseando conversar bien en todo.
18 Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.
19 I really want you to pray hard so that I can come back to see you soon.
19 Y más os ruego que lo hagáis así, para que yo os sea más presto restituído.
19 I strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you sooner.
20 Now may the God of peace who raised our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, from the dead, with the blood of an eternal agreement—
20 Y el Dios de paz que sacó de los muertos á nuestro Señor Jesucristo, el gran pastor de las ovejas, por la sangre del testamento eterno,
20 Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, our Lord Jesus,
21 may he provide you with all that is good so you can do his will. May he work in us, doing everything that pleases him, through Jesus Christ—glory to him forever and ever. Amen.
21 Os haga aptos en toda obra buena para que hagáis su voluntad, haciendo él en vosotros lo que es agradable delante de él por Jesucristo: al cual [sea] gloria por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
21 make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
22 I want to encourage you, brothers and sisters, to pay attention to what I've written to you in this short letter.
22 Empero os ruego, hermanos, que soportéis la palabra de exhortación; porque os he escrito en breve.
22 But I exhort you, brothers, endure the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.
23 You should know that Timothy has been set free. If he gets here soon, I will come with him to see you.
23 Sabed que nuestro hermano Timoteo está suelto; con el cual, si viniere más presto, os [iré] á ver.
23 Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.
24 Give my greetings to all your leaders, and to all the believers there. The believers here in Italy send their greetings.
24 Saludad á todos vuestros pastores, y á todos los santos. Los de Italia os saludan.
24 Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. The Italians greet you.
25 May God's grace be with all of you. Amen.
25 La gracia sea con todos vosotros. Amén. Fué escrita á los Hebreos desde Italia con Timoteo.
25 Grace be with you all. Amen.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Anarchy is an evil, and the occasion of many calamities, and the source of disorder and confusion. For as, if thou take away the leader from a chorus, the chorus will not be in tune and in order; and if from a phalanx of an army thou remove the commander, the evolutions will no longer be made in time and …

In the epistle entitled "To the Hebrews" it is said, "To do good and to communicate, forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased." And so, when it is written, "I desire mercy rather than sacrifice," nothing else is meant than that one sacrifice is preferred to another; for that which in common speech is called sacrifice is …

Hast thou not heard Paul, saying, "Marriage is honorable, and the bed undefiled?" But if on rising from the undefiled bed, thou darest not draw nigh in prayer, how dost thou coming from the bed of the devil call on that awful and terrible name?

For as the Apostle saith, Let marriage be had in honour among all, and let the bed be undefiled.

… to our God for the benefits we have received, according to the measure of our purification from evil, as we receive one a larger and another a smaller share of the aid of the Spirit, that we may offer "the sacrifice of praise to God." According to one use, then, it is thus that we offer our thanksgiving, as the …
