13 out the gate. Let us then go forth to him without the camp, 14 bearing reproaches like his; for here we have no abiding city, 15 but are seeking for one to come. By him, therefore, let us continually present to God the sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of our lips, ascribing praise to his name. 16 Forget not, moreover, kindness and liberality; for with such 17 sacrifices God is well pleased. Obey your leaders, and be subject to them; for they watch over your souls, as those who must give an account. [So obey] that they may do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable to you. 18 Pray for us; for we trust that we have a good conscience, 19 being desirous in all things to demean ourselves uprightly. And I request you the more earnestly to do this, in order that I may speedily be restored to you. 20 Now may the God of peace, that raised from the dead our Lord Jesus, (who is the great Shepherd of the sheep with the 21 blood of an everlasting covenant), I perfect you in every good work, so that ye may do his will; working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever! Amen. 22 23 24 I beseech you now, brethren, to bear with this word of exhortation; for I have written briefly to you. Know ye, that our brother Timothy is sent away; with whom, if he return speedily, I shall visit you. Salute all your leaders, and all the saints. They of Italy sa25 lute you. Grace be with you all! Amen. 2. Is the letter inscribed to the Hebrews properly an epistle, or is it a homily or essay? 9 9. To the church in Spain, Rome, Alexandria, or Antioch? 31 11.
