Hebrews 13:16

Read in context

Hebrews 13:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

14 For here we do not have a permanent city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.

15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that confess His name.

16 And do not neglect to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch over your souls as those who must give an account. To this end, allow them to lead with joy and not with grief, for that would be of no advantage to you.

18 Pray for us; we are convinced that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.
