Hebrews 13:17-19

17Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit to them: for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this were unprofitable for you.

18Pray for us: for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things. 19And I exhortyouthe more exceedingly to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
