Sacrifices Pleasing to God

1Let abrotherly love continue. 2 bDo not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby csome have entertained angels unawares. 3 dRemember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.

Support and Opposition

5Beloved, it is a faithful thing you do in all your efforts for fthese brothers, gstrangers as they are, 6who testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their journey in a manner hworthy of God. 7For they have gone out for the sake of ithe name, jaccepting nothing from the Gentiles. 8Therefore we ought to support people like these, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
