Hebrews 13:5-7

J.B. Phillips New Testament

^4-5 Both honourable marriage and chastity should be respected by all of you. God himself will judge those who traffic in the bodies of others or defile the relationship of marriage. Keep your lives free from the lust for money: be content with what you have. God has said: ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you’.

⁶ We, therefore, can confidently say: ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?’

Be loyal to your leaders and, above all, to Christ

⁷ Never forget your leaders, who first spoke to you the Word of God. Remember how they lived, and imitate their faith.
