Hebrews 13:15–25

15  By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise continually to God, that is, the fruit of the lips confessing his name. 16  But of doing good and communicating of your substance be not forgetful, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 17  Obey your leaders, and be submissive; for they watch over your souls as those that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not groaning, for this would be unprofitable for you.

18  Pray for us: for we persuade ourselves that we have a good conscience, in all things desirous to walk rightly. 19  But I much more beseech you to do this, that I may the more quickly be restored to you. 20  But the God of peace, who brought again from among the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, in the power of the blood of the eternal covenant, 21  perfect you in every good work to the doing of his will, doing in you what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for the ages of ages. Amen. 22  But I beseech you, brethren, bear the word of exhortation, for it is but in few words that I have written to you. 23  Know that our brother Timotheus is set at liberty; with whom, if he should come soon, I will see you. 24  Salute all your leaders, and all the saints. They from Italy salute you. 25  Grace be with you all. Amen.
