Hebrews 13:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 So that we may boldly say, (A)The Lord is mine helper, neither will I fear what [a]man can do unto me.
8 [b]Remember them which have the oversight of you, which have declared unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering what hath been the end of their conversation. [c]Jesus Christ yesterday, and today, the same also is forever.
9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines: [d]for it is a good thing that the heart be stablished with grace, and not with [e]meats, which have not profited them that have been [f]occupied therein.
