The Changeless Christ

13 Let ^(A)love of the brothers and sisters continue. ² Do not neglect ^(B)hospitality to strangers, for by this some have ^(C)entertained angels without knowing it. ^3 (D)Remember ^(E)the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are badly treated, since you yourselves also are in the body. ^4 (F)Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; ^(G)for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers. ⁵ Make sure that your character is ^(H)free from the love of money, ^(I)being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “^(J)I will never desert you, nor will I ever abandon you,” ⁶ so that we confidently say,

⁷ Remember ^(L)those who led you, who spoke ^(M)the word of God to you; and considering the ^[a]result of their way of life, ^(N)imitate their faith. ^8 (O)Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever.

¹⁴ For here ^(A)we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking ^(B)the city which is to come.

God-pleasing Sacrifices

^15 (C)Through Him then, let’s continually offer up a ^(D)sacrifice of praise to God, that is, ^(E)the fruit of lips praising His name. ¹⁶ And do not neglect doing good and ^(F)sharing, for ^(G)with such sacrifices God is pleased.
