Hebrews 13:19 Context
17Obey them that haue the rule ouer you, and submit your selues: for they watch for your soules, as they that must giue account, that they may doe it with ioy, and not with griefe: for that is vnprofitable for you. 18Pray for vs: for we trust wee haue a good conscience in all things, willing to liue honestly. 19But I beseech you the rather to doe this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. 20Now the God of peace, that brought againe from the dead our Lord Iesus, that great shepheard of the sheepe, through the blood of the euerlasting Couenant, 21Make you perfect in euery good worke to doe his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Iesus Christ, to whom be glorie for euer and euer. Amen.
