Hebrews 13:16-18
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
16 Do not forget or neglect to do kindness and good, to be generous and distribute and contribute to the needy [of the church [a]as embodiment and proof of fellowship], for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
17 Obey your spiritual leaders and submit to them [continually recognizing their authority over you], for they are constantly keeping watch over your souls and guarding your spiritual welfare, as men who will have to render an account [of their trust]. [Do your part to] let them do this with gladness and not with sighing and groaning, for that would not be profitable to you [either].
18 Keep praying for us, for we are convinced that we have a good (clear) conscience, that we want to walk uprightly and live a noble life, acting honorably and in complete honesty in all things.

Hebrews 13:16-18
New International Version
16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others,(A) for with such sacrifices(B) God is pleased.
17 Have confidence in your leaders(C) and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you(D) as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.
18 Pray for us.(E) We are sure that we have a clear conscience(F) and desire to live honorably in every way.
