About Hebrews 13"Let brotherly love continue," the writer says, and urges hospitality, care for prisoners, honour for marriage, and contentment, "for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." He reminds them, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever," and since Jesus "suffered without the gate," he says, "Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach," and "offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually." He asks them to obey their leaders and pray for him, prays that "the God of peace" will "Make you perfect in every good work," and sends news that "our brother Timothy is set at liberty."
