[:en]Thoughts from Hebrews 13[:]

[:en]Concluding exhortations:

“Keep on loving each other as brothers.  Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing, some people have entertained angels without knowing it.  Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering” (vs. 1-3)

“Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral” (v, 4)

“Keep your lives free form the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, never will Ieave you; never will I forsake you”.  So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.  What can man do to me?”(5-6)

“Jesus is the same yesterday, and today and forever” (v. 8)

“Let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise – the fruit of lips that confess his name” (v. 15)

“Do no forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased” (v. 16)

“Obey your leaders and submit to their authority.  They keep watch over you a men who must give an account.  Obey them, so that their work will be  a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you” (v. 17)

“May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back for the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep equip you with everything good for doing his will and may he work in us what is pleasing in him through Jesus Christ” (v. 20-21
