Hebrews 13:16-18
Worldwide English (New Testament)
16 But do not forget to do good things for people, and to give what you have to those who need it. These are sacrifices that please God.
17 Obey your leaders and do what they tell you. They are watching over your souls. They must give a report. Obey them so they will be glad, and not sad, to give a report. If you make them sad, it is no help to you.
18 Talk to God about us. We know that what we do is right. We want to do what is right in every way.

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.
