Hebrews 13:3

Remember to help those who are in prison because they are Christians, as though you were in prison with them. Remember those who are being mistreated {whom people are mistreating} because they are believers. As you do that, consider that you you could suffer as they do.

Translation for Translators

Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
