15 Therefore let us offer to God a sacrifice of praise continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, confessing to his name. 16 But do not forget benefaction and fellowship: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 17 Obey your leaders, and be submissive: for they are watching for your souls, as they shall give an account that they may do this with joy and not with grief, for this is unprofitable to you. 18 Pray for us: for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, wishing in all things to deport ourselves in harmony with the beauty of holiness. 19 But I the more exhort you to do this, that I may the more speedily be restored unto you. 20 And the God of peace, the one having raised up from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, the great shepherd of the sheep, make you perfect, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 in every good thing to do his will, doing that which is acceptable in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory unto the age of the ages. Amen. 22 But I exhort you, brethren, to receive the word of consolation: for I have indeed written unto you briefly. 23 Know our brother Timothy has departed; with whom, if he may come the more speedily, I shall see you. 24 Salute all your leaders, and all the saints. Those from Italy salute you. 25 Grace be with you all. Hebrews 13:15-25, Godbey New Testament. Public domain.
