做上帝喜悅的事

13 你們要繼續彼此相愛,情同手足。 不要忘記款待客旅,因為曾經有人接待客旅時不知不覺接待了天使。 要設身處地地顧念那些被囚禁的人,要感同身受地顧念那些遭遇苦難的人。

人人都要尊重婚姻,不可玷污夫妻關係[a],因為上帝必審判淫亂和通姦的人。

不要貪愛錢財,要對自己擁有的知足,因為上帝說過:

「我永不撇下你,也不離棄你。」

這樣,我們可以放膽地說:

「主是我的幫助,
我必不懼怕,
人能把我怎麼樣?」

Concluding Exhortations

13 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.(A) Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers,(B) for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.(C) Continue to remember those in prison(D) as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.

Marriage should be honored by all,(E) and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.(F) Keep your lives free from the love of money(G) and be content with what you have,(H) because God has said,

“Never will I leave you;
    never will I forsake you.”[a](I)

So we say with confidence,

“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
    What can mere mortals do to me?”[b](J)
