Hebrews 13:17-25

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.

Final Greetings

²²I appeal to you, brothers,^[b] bear with my word of exhortation, for ^(N)I have written to you briefly. ²³You should know that ^(O)our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon. ²⁴Greet all ^(P)your leaders and all the saints. Those who come from Italy send you greetings. ²⁵^(Q)Grace be with all of you.
