Hebrews 13:14-21

English Standard Version

¹⁴For ^(A)here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. ¹⁵^(B)Through him then let us continually offer up ^(C)a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, ^(D)the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. ¹⁶Do not neglect to do good and ^(E)to share what you have, for such ^(F)sacrifices are pleasing to God.

¹⁷Obey ^(G)your leaders and submit to them, ^(H)for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to ^(I)give an account. ^(J)Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.

¹⁸^(K)Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things. ¹⁹I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order ^(L)that I may be restored to you the sooner.

Benediction

²⁰Now ^(M)may the God of peace ^(N)who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, ^(O)the great shepherd of the sheep, by ^(P)the blood of the eternal covenant, ²¹^(Q)equip you with everything good that you may do his will, ^(R)working in us^[a] that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, ^(S)to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
