1 The charity of brotherhood dwell in you,

2 and do not ye forget hospitality; for by this some men pleased to angels, that were received to harbour.

3 Think ye on bound men, as ye were together bound, and of travailing men, as yourselves dwelling in the body.

4 Wedding is in all things honourable, and bed unwemmed [or undefouled]; for God shall deem fornicators and adulterers.

5 Be your manners without covetousness, satisfied with present things; for he said, I shall not leave thee, neither forsake,

6 so that we say trustily, The Lord is an helper to me; I shall not dread what a man shall do to me.

7 Have ye mind of your sovereigns, that have spoken to you the word of God; of whom behold ye the going out of living, and pursue ye the faith of them,

8 Jesus Christ, yesterday, and today, he is also into worlds.

9 Do not ye be led away with diverse and strange teachings. For it is best to stable the heart with grace, not with meats, which profited not to men wandering [or going] in them.

10 We have an altar, of which they that serve to the tabernacle, have not power [or leave] to eat.

11 For of which beasts the blood is borne in for sin into holy things by the bishop, the bodies of them be burnt without the castles.

12 For which thing Jesus, that he should hallow the people by his blood, suffered without the gate.

13 Therefore go we out to him without the castles, bearing his reproof.

14 For we have not here a city dwelling, but we seek a city to coming [or to come].

15 Therefore by him offer we a sacrifice of praising evermore to God, that is to say, the fruit of lips acknowledging to his name.

16 And do not ye forget well-doing, and communing; for by such sacrifices God is well-served.

17 Obey ye to your sovereigns, and be ye subject to them; for they perfectly wake, as to yielding reason for your souls, that they do this thing with joy, and not sorrowing; for this thing speedeth not to you.

18 Pray ye for us, and we trust that we have good conscience in all things, willing to live well.

19 Moreover I beseech you to do [this thing], that I be restored the sooner to you.

20 And God of peace, that led out from death the great shepherd of sheep, in the blood of [the] ever-lasting testament, our Lord Jesus Christ,

21 shape you in all good thing [or make you able in each good work], that ye do the will of him; and he do in you that thing that shall please before him, by Jesus Christ, to whom be glory into worlds of worlds. Amen.

22 And, brethren, I pray you, that ye suffer a word of solace; for by full few things I have written to you.

23 Know ye our brother Timothy, that is sent forth, with whom if he shall come more hastily, I shall see you.

24 Greet ye well all your sovereigns, and all holy men [or all saints]. The brethren of Italy greet you well.

25 The grace of God be with you all. Amen.
