¹² We ask you, brothers, ^(A)to respect those who labour among you and ^(B)are over you in the Lord and admonish you,

¹⁷ Obey ^(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.
