Hebrews 13:17-21

English Standard Version

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

¹⁸^(E)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 ^(F)that I may be restored to you the sooner.

Benediction

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