14. For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
15. Through Him, then, let us continually offer to God the sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.
16. But do not forget to do good and to share. For with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17. Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch over your souls as those who must give an account. Let them do this with joy and not complaining, for that would not be profitable to you.
18. Pray for us. For we trust that we have a good conscience and in all things are willing to live honestly.
19. But I implore you to pray, that I may be restored to you very soon.
20. Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the Great Shepherd of the sheep,
21. make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
22. I implore you, brothers, to heed this word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.
23. Know that our brother Timothy has been set free, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon.
24. Greet all those who rule over you and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.
25. Grace be with you all. Amen.
