Hebrews 13:1-8

Sacrifices Pleasing to God

¹ Let _u brotherly love continue. ² _v Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby _w some have entertained angels unawares. ³ _x Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body. ⁴ _y Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge _z the sexually immoral and adulterous. ⁵ Keep your life _a free from love of money, and _b be content with what you have, for he has said, _c "I will never leave you nor forsake you."

⁶ So we can confidently say,
_d "The Lord is my helper;
_e I will not fear;
what can man do to me?"

⁷ Remember _f your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and _g imitate their faith. ⁸ Jesus Christ is _h the same yesterday and today and forever.
