Hebrews 13:15-21
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
15 Through him, then, let us continually offer a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name. 16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls and will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with sighing—for that would be harmful to you.
18 Pray for us; we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things. 19 I urge you all the more to do this, so that I may be restored to you very soon.
Benediction
20 Now may the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, 21 make you complete in everything good so that you may do his will, working among us[a] that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Hebrews 13:15-21
New International Version
15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice(A) of praise—the fruit of lips(B) that openly profess his name. 16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others,(C) for with such sacrifices(D) God is pleased.
17 Have confidence in your leaders(E) and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you(F) as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.
18 Pray for us.(G) We are sure that we have a clear conscience(H) and desire to live honorably in every way. 19 I particularly urge you to pray so that I may be restored to you soon.(I)
Benediction and Final Greetings
20 Now may the God of peace,(J) who through the blood of the eternal covenant(K) brought back from the dead(L) our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,(M) 21 equip you with everything good for doing his will,(N) and may he work in us(O) what is pleasing to him,(P) through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.(Q)
