Hebrews 13:17-19

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷ Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch over your souls and will have to render an account in that regard. Make this a joy for them to do rather than a grief, for that would be of no advantage to you.

¹⁸ Pray for us. We are sure that our own conscience is clear, and our desire is to act honorably in everything we do. ¹⁹ I especially ask you to do this that I may be restored to you as soon as possible.
