Context of Hebrews 13:3
1Let brotherly love abide. 2Be not forgetful of hospitality; for by it some have unawares entertained angels. Remember prisoners, as bound with [them]; those that are evil-treated, as being yourselves also in [the] body. 4[Let] marriage [be held] every way in honour, and the bed [be] undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers will God judge. 5[Let your] conversation [be] without love of money, satisfied with [your] present circumstances; for he has said, I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee.
