Hebrews 13:17-19

New Century Version

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.

¹⁸ Pray for us. We are sure that we have a clear conscience, because we always want to do the right thing. ¹⁹ I especially beg you to pray so that God will send me back to you soon.
