「耶穌基督昨日、今日，一直到永遠是一樣的。」（8節）

經文
希伯來書十三章1至16節

1你們務要常存弟兄相愛的心。

2不可忘記用愛心接待客旅；因為曾有接待客旅的，不知不覺就接待了天使。

3你們要記念被捆綁的人，好像與他們同受捆綁；也要記念遭苦害的人，想到自己也在肉身之內。

4婚姻，人人都當尊重，床也不可污穢；因為苟合行淫的人，神必要審判。

5你們存心不可貪愛錢財，要以自己所有的為足；因為主曾說：我總不撇下你，也不丟棄你。

6所以我們可以放膽說：主是幫助我的，我必不懼怕；人能把我怎麼樣呢？

7從前引導你們、傳神之道給你們的人，你們要想念他們，效法他們的信心，留心看他們為人的結局。

8耶穌基督，昨日、今日、一直到永遠、是一樣的。

9你們不要被那諸般怪異的教訓勾引了去；因為人心靠恩得堅固才是好的，並不是靠飲食。那在飲食上專心的從來沒有得著益處。

10我們有一祭壇，上面的祭物是那些在帳幕中供職的人不可同吃的。

11原來牲畜的血被大祭司帶入聖所作贖罪祭；牲畜的身子被燒在營外。

12所以，耶穌要用自己的血叫百姓成聖，也就在城門外受苦。

13這樣，我們也當出到營外，就了他去，忍受他所受的凌辱。

14我們在這裡本沒有常存的城，乃是尋求那將來的城。

15我們應當靠著耶穌，常常以頌讚為祭獻給神，這就是那承認主名之人嘴唇的果子。

16只是不可忘記行善和捐輸的事；因為這樣的祭，是神所喜悅的。

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" (v.8)

Bible reading:
Hebrews 13:1-16

1 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.

2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.

3 Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.

4 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.

5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."[a]

6 So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?"[b]

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

8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods, which is of no benefit to those who do so.

10 We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle have no right to eat.

11 The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp.

12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood.

13 Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.

14 For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.

15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.

16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
