Hebrews 13:17-25

New American Standard Bible

^17 (A)Obey your leaders and submit to them—for ^(B)they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account—so that they may do this with joy, not ^[a]groaning; for this would be unhelpful for you.

^18 (C)Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a ^(D)good conscience, desiring to conduct ourselves honorably in all things. ¹⁹ And I urge you all the more to do this, ^(E)so that I may be restored to you more quickly.

Benediction

²⁰ Now may ^(F)the God of peace, who ^(G)brought up from the dead the ^(H)great Shepherd of the sheep ^[b]through ^(I)the blood of the ^(J)eternal covenant, that is, Jesus our Lord, ^21 (K)equip you in every good thing to do His will, ^(L)working in us that ^(M)which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, ^(N)to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

²² But ^(O)I urge you, ^(P)brothers and sisters, ^[c]listen patiently to ^[d]this ^(Q)word of exhortation, for ^(R)I have written to you briefly. ²³ Know that ^(S)our brother Timothy has been released, with whom, if he comes soon, I will see you. ²⁴ Greet ^(T)all of your leaders and all the ^[e](U)saints. Those from ^(V)Italy greet you.

^25 (W)Grace be with you all.
