13:8 Jesus Christus heri, et hodie : ipse et in sæcula.

13:8 Jesus Christ, yesterday, and today: and the same for ever.

13:9 Doctrinis variis et peregrinis nolite abduci. Optimum est enim gratia stabilire cor, non escis : quæ non profuerunt ambulantibus in eis.

13:16 And do not forget to do good and to impart: for by such sacrifices God's favour is obtained.
