Hebrews 13:18

Pray for me. I am certain that I have not done anything that displeases God. I have tried to act honorably toward you in every way.

Translation for Translators

In The King James Version

Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.

In Context

17Obey your spiritual leaders; do what they tell you, since they are the ones who are looking out for your spiritual welfare [SYN]. Some day they will have to stand before God so that he can say if he approves of what they have done. Obey them in order that they can do the work of guarding you joyfully, and not have to do it sadly, because if you cause them to do it sadly, that will certainly not help you at all (OR, they will not be able to help you at all).

19I urge you earnestly to pray that God will quickly remove the things that hinder my coming to you.

Matthew Henry on Hebrews 13:2-18

Various Duties. ( a. d. 62.) 1 Let brotherly love continue. 2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. 3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. 4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. 5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee,… Read the whole commentary →
