Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. |
|
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. |
|
Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. |
|
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. |
|
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. |
|
Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. |
|
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. |

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. |
|
Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. |
|
But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. |

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, |
|
Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. |
|
And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words. |
|
Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you. |
|
Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you. |
|
Grace be with you all. Amen. |
