Hebrews 13 Read, Study, & Breakdown

Hebrews 13 (Part Two – vv. 13-25)

13 Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach. 14 For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come. 15 Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, [d]giving thanks to His name. 16 But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

17 Obey those who [e]rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.

Prayer Requested

18 Pray for us; for we are confident that we have a good conscience, in all things desiring to live honorably. 19 But I especially urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

Benediction, Final Exhortation, Farewell

20 Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you [f]complete in every good work to do His will, working in [g]you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

22 And I appeal to you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words. 23 Know that our brother Timothy has been set free, with whom I shall see you if he comes shortly.

24 Greet all those who [h]rule over you, and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.

25 Grace be with you all. Amen.

NOTES HEBREWS 13 – (vv. 13-14, vv. 15-19, & vv. 20-21)

13:13-14: The Camp in this scripture is referring to the old covenant, Israel and all its institutions and worship… The city (v. 14) is the earthly Jerusalem as the temple city of the Jews (see also Hebrews 11:10, 13-16; and Hebrews 12:22) … We can’t follow both the new and the old covenants … The Early church (AD 30-70) retained its Jewish customs, even its religious traditions, but it was under the new covenant and so bore the ire of Jews still under the old covenant… every Christian must be prepared to bear men’s scorn and see themselves as in exile in this life … The heavenly city we all seek is the one to which we have already come into (See Hebrews 12:22) …

Hebrews 11:10: for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

Hebrews 11:13-16: These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off [a]were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. 15 And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

Hebrews 12:22: But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels,

13:15-19: A summary of exhortation: (1): WE EXPERIENCE the heavenly city and the heavenly most holy place we SACRIFICE our whole being, body, and soul, in the Divine Liturgy – a mystery in which our part is that of praise consistent with true doctrine – (vv. 15, 9-14) … (2): GOOD WORKS and life in community – (TO SHARE, Greek … “koinonias”) must be united with worship – (vv. 16, 1-6) … (3): PRIESTS and spiritual leaders must be respected and obeyed – (vv. 17, 7, 8), a reference to “spiritual fatherhood” in the Church … They will give account of their ministry at the judgement … The author sees himself among the leaders and asks for prayer that he may live an exemplary life – (see, also v. 7) …

13:20-21: The Benediction notes: (1): THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE BLOOD OF CHRIST is realized in His Resurrection as Christ offers His Blood in the eternal sanctuary and so inaugurates a new, EVERLASTING COVENANT – (2): THE EVERLASTING COVENANT MAKES US COMPELTE as we cooperate with God – (synergy) in all things and progress toward sainthood …
