    The chapter

    What happens here

    Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.

    Jesus suffers outside the city gate, and the letter promptly sends its company outside the camp after him, carrying the disgrace along with the sacrifice of praise.

    Angels at the door, and money shown the doorvv. 1–6

    The chapter opens with brotherly love, hospitality, prison remembered as though shared, and mistreatment felt as though suffered. Marriage is to be honored, money is to lose its grip, and two sturdy sayings are brought out: God will not leave, and the Lord is a helper. Hospitality has the chapter’s little surprise tucked inside it: strangers may turn out to be angels, and the hosts may not notice until later — if later is even supplied.

    Outside the campvv. 7–16

    The leaders are to be remembered, their way of life considered, and their faith imitated; meanwhile Jesus Christ remains the same yesterday, today, and forever. Against strange teachings and food-based devotion, the letter sets an altar from which tabernacle-servants have no right to eat. The high priest takes animal blood into the Holy Place, while the bodies go outside the camp; Jesus likewise suffers outside the city gate. The company is therefore pointed outward, towards him, towards a city still to come, and towards sacrifices made of praise, good deeds, and sharing — a pleasantly crowded altar, though not one made of stone.

    A brief word, with Timothy in the wingsvv. 17–25

    The leaders reappear as watchers over souls, people who must give an account and who are asked to lead with joy rather than grief. The writer asks for prayer, especially for a swift restoration, then names the God of peace and Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep. The letter calls itself brief — a modest description for a passage containing angels, an altar, a city still to come, and Timothy’s release. Timothy may arrive soon; if he does, the writer will come with him. Greetings travel from Italy, and the final word is grace.

    Berean Standard Bible, public domain. Names the Hebrew and Greek put in the verse link to the person, place or people they name; the address beside each verse is a link to that verse, which is what a reader copies and shares.

    1. Heb 13:1Continue in brotherly love.

    2. Heb 13:2Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.

    3. Heb 13:3Remember those in prison as if you were bound with them, and those who are mistreated as if you were suffering with them.

    4. Heb 13:4Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

    5. Heb 13:5Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”

    6. Heb 13:6So we say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”

    7. Heb 13:7Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.

    8. Heb 13:8Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

    9. Heb 13:9Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace and not by foods of no value to those devoted to them.

    10. Heb 13:10We have an altar from which those who serve at the tabernacle have no right to eat.

    11. Heb 13:11Although the high priest brings the blood of animals into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin, the bodies are burned outside the camp.

    12. Heb 13:12And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate, to sanctify the people by His own blood.

    13. Heb 13:13Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace He bore.

    14. Heb 13:14For here we do not have a permanent city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.

    15. Heb 13:15Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that confess His name.

    16. Heb 13:16And do not neglect to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

    17. Heb 13:17Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch over your souls as those who must give an account. To this end, allow them to lead with joy and not with grief, for that would be of no advantage to you.

    18. Heb 13:18Pray for us; we are convinced that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.

    19. Heb 13:19And I especially urge you to pray that I may be restored to you soon.

    20. Heb 13:20Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,

    21. Heb 13:21equip you with every good thing to do His will. And may He accomplish in us what is pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

    22. Heb 13:22I urge you, brothers, to bear with my word of exhortation, for I have only written to you briefly.

    23. Heb 13:23Be aware that our brother Timothy has been released. If he arrives soon, I will come with him to see you.

    24. Heb 13:24Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy send you greetings.

    25. Heb 13:25Grace be with all of you.

    Who else the chapter reaches

    Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.

    Named in the Hebrew or Greek somewhere in this chapter, under a form the English renders differently — the registry's Ludim against the translation's Ludites — so there is no word in the sentence to hang the link on.

    Reached by an assertion Atlas extracted from a verse of this chapter rather than by a name written in it — a pronoun, a title, or a participant the sentence carries without naming. This layer is model-read and measured at 88.6–90.3% precision, and it is kept separate from the names above for that reason.
