Hebrews 12:22-13:6 GNB Instead, you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, with its thousands of angels. (23) You have come to the joyful gathering of God's first-born, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, who is the judge of all people, and to the spirits of good people made perfect. (24) You have come to Jesus, who arranged the new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that promises much better things than does the blood of Abel. (25) Be careful, then, and do not refuse to hear him who speaks. (Mark 9:7) Those who refused to hear the one who gave the divine message on earth did not escape. How much less shall we escape, then, if we turn away from the one who speaks from heaven! (Mark 9:7) (26) His voice shook the earth at that time, but now he has promised, "I will once more shake not only the earth but heaven as well." (27) The words "once more" plainly show that the created things will be shaken and removed, so that the things that cannot be shaken will remain. (1 Cor 15:20-28) (28) Let us be thankful, then, because we receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Let us be grateful and worship God in a way that will please him, with reverence and awe; (John 4:19-21 & 23-26) (29) because our God is indeed a destroying fire.
Hebrews 13:1-6 GNB Keep on loving one another as Christians. (2) Remember to welcome strangers in your homes. There were some who did that and welcomed angels without knowing it. (3) Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them. Remember those who are suffering, as though you were suffering as they are. (4) Marriage is to be honored by all, and husbands and wives must be faithful to each other. God will judge those who are immoral and those who commit adultery. (5) Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, "I will never leave you; I will never abandon you." (6) Let us be bold, then, and say, "The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?"

Hebrews 12:22-13:6 GW Instead, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to tens of thousands of angels joyfully gathered together (23) and to the assembly of God's firstborn children (whose names are written in heaven). You have come to a judge (the God of all people) and to the spirits of people who have God's approval and have gained eternal life. (24) You have come to Jesus, who brings the new promise from God, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better message than Abel's. (25) Be careful that you do not refuse to listen when God speaks. (Mark 9:7) Your ancestors didn't escape when they refused to listen to God, who warned them on earth. We certainly won't escape if we turn away from God, who warns us from heaven. (26) When God spoke to your ancestors, his voice shook the earth. But now he has promised, "Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the sky." (27) The words once more show clearly that God will change what he has made. These are the things that can be shaken. Then only the things that cannot be shaken will remain. (1 Cor 15:20-28) (28) Therefore, we must be thankful that we have a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Because we are thankful, we must serve God with fear and awe in a way that pleases him. (John 4:19-21 & 23-26) (29) After all, our God is a destructive fire.
Hebrews 13:1-6 GW Continue to love each other. (2) Don't forget to show hospitality to believers you don't know. By doing this some believers have shown hospitality to angels without being aware of it. (3) Remember those in prison as if you were in prison with them. Remember those who are mistreated as if you were being mistreated. (4) Marriage is honorable in every way, so husbands and wives should be faithful to each other. God will judge those who commit sexual sins, especially those who commit adultery. (5) Don't love money. Be happy with what you have because God has said, "I will never abandon you or leave you." (6) So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper. I will not be afraid. What can mortals do to me?"

Hebrews 12:22-13:6 ESV But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, (23) and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, (24) and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. (25) See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. (Mark 9:7) For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. (26) At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens." (27) This phrase, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of things that are shaken--that is, things that have been made--in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. (1 Cor 15:20-28) (28) Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, (John 4:19-21 & 23-26) (29) for our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 13:1-6 ESV Let brotherly love continue. (2) Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. (3) Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body. (4) Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. (5) Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." (6) So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?"

Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
