CHAPTER XVI.

_SUNDRY EXHORTATIONS._

HEBREWS xiii.

Let love of the brethren continue. Forget not to shew love unto
strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; them that are
evil entreated, as being yourselves also in the body. Let marriage
be had in honour among all, and let the bed be undefiled: for
fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Be ye free from the love
of money; content with such things as ye have: for Himself hath
said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise
forsake thee. So that with good courage we say.

The Lord is my helper; I will not fear:
What shall man do unto me?

Remember them that had the rule over you, which spake unto you the
word of God; and considering the issue of their life, imitate their
faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day, yea and for
ever. Be not carried away by divers and strange teachings: for it is
good that the heart be established by grace; not by meats, wherein
they that occupied themselves were not profited. We have an altar,
whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. For
the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the holy
place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned without
the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people
through His own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us therefore
go forth unto Him without the camp, bearing His reproach. For we
have not here an abiding city, but we seek after the city which is
to come. Through Him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to
God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to
His name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with
such sacrifices God is well pleased. Obey them that have the rule
over you, and submit to them: for they watch in behalf of your
souls, as they that shall
