Hebrews 13:15-17

New Century Version

¹⁵ So through Jesus let us always offer to God our sacrifice of praise, coming from lips that speak his name. ¹⁶ Do not forget to do good to others, and share with them, because such sacrifices please God.

¹⁷ Obey your leaders and act under their authority. They are watching over you, because they are responsible for your souls. Obey them so that they will do this work with joy, not sadness. It will not help you to make their work hard.
