Context of Hebrews 13:3

1Let brotherly love continue. 2Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for by this some have entertained angels unawares. Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them who suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. 4Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. 5Let your manner of life be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
