Hebrews 13:17

---

← Hebrews 13:16	Hebrews 13:17 (KJV)	Hebrews 13:18 →
But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.	Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that [is] unprofitable for you.	Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.
