14. For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one that is coming.
15. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips confessing his name.
16. Do not forget to do good and to fellowship; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17. Listen to your pastors, and do not resist them, for they watch for your souls as those that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief; for that is unprofitable for you.
18. Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience in all things desiring to conduct ourselves well.
19. And I beseech you all the more to do this, that I may be restored unto you sooner.
20. Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the eternal testament,
21. make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for the ages of the ages. Amen.
22. And I beseech you, brethren, that ye receive this word of exhortation, that I have written unto you briefly.
23. Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.
24. Salute all thy pastors and all the saints. The brethren of Italy salute you.
25. Grace be with you all. Amen.
