Hebrews 13:15-25

English Standard Version

¹⁵^(A)Through him then let us continually offer up ^(B)a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, ^(C)the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. ¹⁶Do not neglect to do good and ^(D)to share what you have, for such ^(E)sacrifices are pleasing to God.

¹⁷Obey ^(F)your leaders and submit to them, ^(G)for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to ^(H)give an account. ^(I)Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.

¹⁸^(J)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 ^(K)that I may be restored to you the sooner.

Benediction

²⁰Now ^(L)may the God of peace ^(M)who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, ^(N)the great shepherd of the sheep, by ^(O)the blood of the eternal covenant, ²¹^(P)equip you with everything good that you may do his will, ^(Q)working in us^[a] that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, ^(R)to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Final Greetings

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