Hebrews Chapter 13 Verse by Verse

Grace unto you, and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ


General Theme of Hebrews 13: It's the conclusion of all this/that.
Here we go, on to perfection (pure grace) exhorted in Hebrews 6.
God (Grace) never leaves nor forsakes as Law Law on high does.
Conclusion: of Law vs Law or Grace? Grace with you all. Amen!

Heb 13 notably has Two Amens: firstly unto being made perfect (of created/made imperfect/perfect) by the God of peace (not the God of division) is "through Jesus --> Christ"; And lastly unto Grace [be] with you all. It begins with let brotherly love to all brethren (not some only), continue (not dwindle); to the point J --> C is always fwd to the end of the conversation: Christ, which is the end of the law, not another law which makes wretched and forsakes. Of two Gods: Law and Grace, Law said in Jeremiah 23:39 "I will forsake you"; But Grace saith "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee". It is a good (God) thing the heart be established with grace (only), by letting law be dead testator; For laws(ordinances) did not profit them occupied therein: all who diligently tried to attain righteousness(grace) of the law failed to attain it: Romans 9:31. Hebrews 13 culminates everything learned in Hebrews 1-12, and concludes perfection is impossible by law, rather only by Grace [be] with you all. Amen.
.............................................................

Hebrews 13:1 Let brotherly love continue.

Brotherly love is to be unto brethren all: Hebrews 2, not unto some only. And the exhortation here is to let brotherly love continue, not dwindle.

Hebrews 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

Forgetful speaks of those who forget they were purged of old sins and get suckered with the second law of Romans 8:2 law vs law, forgetting the second is like the first in Mt 22: 36-40 law law, and law is not only the ministration of condmenation in 2Corinthians 3:9, but also the ministration of death in 2Corinthians 3:7.
Strangers speak of those in Hebrews 11 who all died and received not the plural promises of forsake(Jeremiah 23:39) and not forsake, nor the promise of never being forsaken by grace that is void of law; For they all served law rather than grace, or mixed grace + law.

Hebrews 13:3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; [and] them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

In unity, if any are in bonds(laws), then all are to the degree all are one; Since there is no respect of persons with God. If any suffer, then all suffer; since all are in one body. However in the body of Christ there is no law = no sin and death = no suffering at all, when doing what the head of the body Christ authored: don't even try to mend the law, end it.
Notice two sorts of "them" are mentioned, speaks of two sorts of law: OT Law and NT Law.
Bonds speak of Laws which Bind and Blind "them" observing such lying vanities (laws).
Suffering adversity(torment of fear, injurious oppression, destructive wrath, etc) also speaks of law; And of being in J of C-->J, as noted in 2Timothy 3:12: all who live godly in CJ shall suffer; Rather than being in C of J-->C, is the end of the law, is the end of all bondage, suffering, and sorrows. Adversity speaks of the adversary: the d-evil(law).

Hebrews 13:4 Marriage [is] honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

Marriage speaks of Christ and the Church being loined as one Head and Body, not as two bodies; with top down reconciliation to all below the head of the body of Christ, the Church. Whore-mongering and Adult-ery speaks of OT Law and NT Law claiming to be espoused to His Grace and being found whoring with law again. Grace marriage is honorable and undefiled. Law marriages and divorces and remarriages always bring forth the ultimate divorce: death.

Hebrews 13:5 [Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Conversation without covetousness is Grace without law. Content speaks of grace is sufficient, no law required. Grace saith: I will never leave thee nor forsake thee. Law said: I will forsake you. So mixing grace + law is as adding forsaken to not forsaken, making an oxy-moron with a bad ending: forsaken. People who go with another law, even love thy neighbor as a law, end up feeling wretched and forsaken as David in Psalms and Jesus on the cross.

Hebrews 13:6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Boldly speaks of going to the throne of grace in Hebrews 4, where only mercy is obtain-able, and only help is avail-able, notably in time, not when it's too late. The Lord is now that Spirit, my helper (grace), not my hind-rance (law), and thereby is no fear in perfect love, since fear hath torment, and torment is not contentment, but the opposite of contentment.

Hebrews 13:7
Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of [their] conversation.

Here we have exhortation to remember, not obey; and clarity it's them who have spoken the word of God: Grace, which is sharper than any twoedged sword in Hebrews 4:12; smarter than any law law. Follow such faith, as the law is not of faith: Galatians 3:11,12, and whatsoever is not of faith is sin: Romans 14:23. Consider "the end" of conversation, "their end" being a dead end for adding law worketh wrath to grace is sufficient. The end: Grace with you all. Amen... is not their end, and their end is the end. Consider only the end.

Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Jesus --> Christ is always fwd, going on to the perfection of Christ: is the end of the law, not drawing back to either law vs law, which is as a fall from grace to law, which makes Christ of no effect to you. Selah, those in CJ, who draw back to Jesus, to division and not peace thereof.

Hebrews 13:9
Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For [it is] a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

Carried about speaks of being tossed to and fro by law law, and of being carried away, to baby-lon, the milk-y way thereof such like Barnabas who got carried away by Peter's partiality and hypocrisy at Antioch. E-stablished in grace(only) speaks of being made perfect and being stablished by the God of all grace (no law at all). And to establish grace in the heart, we make law the dead testator of the new testament, as is noted in Hebrews 9.

Hebrews 13:10
We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.

We vs they, is as us vs them; which things are an allegory. Serve speaks of servants(slaves). We are exhorted to be no more servants, but rather above a servant, above both sorts of two servants compared.

Hebrews 13:11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.

.

Hebrews 13:12
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

.

Hebrews 13:13  Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

.

Hebrews 13:14
For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come

Here on earth there is no continuing city of Jersualem, gets destroyed over and over; Perhaps because it is divided, split in three: Jew - Muslim - Christian, three that are always at war, never dwelling together in peace as brethren in a globe-all world.

Hebrews 13:15
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of [our] lips giving thanks to his name.

.

Hebrews 13:16
But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Doing good(only): grace (only), not law: "both good and evil": Hebrews 5, is firstly what pleases God; And communicating that(only) is lastly also what pleases God. These are not bloody sacrifices of animals or men, but praise worthy sacrifices of grace us people not willing to have any blood shed at all, of any brethren at all, since we all are one. One what? One proselyte if twofold: more the child of hell, which is worse than, not better than, the hypocrites, fools, serpents, vipers, and blind guides who sat in Moses' Seat: OT Law. And let us not forget when it comes to such Pharisees it's not beware the Pharisees, but their doctrine: Law. Yet when it comes to Dogs, it's not beware their doctrine, but beware of Dogs, who turn again to their vomit: law.

Hebrews 13:17
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that [is] unprofitable for you.

.

Hebrews 13:18
Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.

.


Hebrews 13:19
But I beseech [you] the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. 

.

Hebrews 13:20
Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,



Hebrews 13:21
Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.

.


Hebrews 13:22
And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.

.


Hebrews 13:23
Know ye that [our] brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

.


Hebrews 13:24
Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.

.


Hebrews 13:25
Grace [be] with you all. Amen.

Such is notably the token(ticket to heaven above the plural divided heavens) of Paul in every Pauline Epistle, including Hebrews and Revelation, and notably written by his own hand.


[Written to the Hebrews from Italy, by Timothy.]

Clarity seems necessary concerning this notation about Timothy. First of all Paul The Apostle is the author of To The Hebrews, as noted in the title; But such is written by Timothy, except for the conclusion, as noted in the notation. So Timothy is as the secretary of Paul the orator. Yet the notation of Timothy as writer carries a further revealing, as noted in Hebrews 13:23. For after James, Peter, and John bewitched the churches (Galatians), it sorely depressed Timothy, who finally got over it(oppression of law) via the Pauline epistles to Timothy encouraging him to study to shew himself approved(only) unto God. So it is kinda in your face To The Hebrews, that Timothy is writer, and is set at liberty, from the oppression of their law.

Conclusion of To The Hebrews (a mini bible itself): "Grace with you all. Amen."
Conclusion of Holy Bible: "
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen."
