Hebrews 13:17-19

17Respect your leaders and obey them. They watch over your lives on God's behalf. God will check to see if they have done their work well. So respect them, and then they will be happy as they serve God. Do not say bad things against them, because that will never help you.

18Pray to God for us. We are sure in our minds that we have done nothing wrong. We always want to do only what is right.

19The most important thing is this: Pray that I may come back to you soon.
