Hebrews 13:16-18
New English Translation
16 And do not neglect to do good and to share what you have,[a] for God is pleased with such sacrifices.
17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls and will give an account for their work.[b] Let them do this[c] with joy and not with complaints, for this would be no advantage for you. 18 Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to conduct ourselves rightly in every respect.

New International Version
16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others,(A) for with such sacrifices(B) God is pleased.
17 Have confidence in your leaders(C) and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you(D) 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.
