NASB — Hebrews 13 — KJV

The Changeless Christ

1 Let alove° of the brethren° continue°. 2 Do not neglect° to ashow hospitality° to strangers°, for by this° some° have bentertained° angels° without° knowing° it. 3 aRemember° bthe prisoners°, as though° in prison° with them, [and] those° who are ill-treated°, since° you yourselves° also° are in the body°. 4 aMarriage° [is to be held] in honor° among° all°, and the [marriage] bed° [is to be] undefiled°; bfor fornicators° and adulterers° God° will judge°. 5 [Make sure that] your character° is afree° from the love° of money°, bbeing content° with what you have°; for He Himself° has said°, “cI WILL NEVER°° DESERT° YOU, NOR° WILL I EVER°° FORSAKE° YOU,” 6 so° that we confidently° say°,
  “aTHE LORD° IS MY HELPER°, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID°.
  WHAT° WILL MAN° DO° TO ME?”

to take heed of strange doctrines,

9 Be¹ª notº carried aboutºª with diversº andº strangeº doctrines.º Forº [it is] a good thingº that the² heartº be establishedºª with grace;º notº with meats,º which² have¹ª notº profitedºª them that have been occupied¹ª therein.¹¹²
