1. New Rules for Behaviour

  1. Brotherly love must continue:
    Two examples of real love:
    1. Do not neglect hospitality,
      because through it some have entertained angels without knowing it.
    2. Remember those in prison as though you were in prison with them,
      and those ill-treated as though you too felt their torment.
    Two examples of false love:
    1. Marriage must be honoured among all and the marriage bed kept undefiled,
      because God will judge sexually immoral people and adulterers.
    2. Your conduct must be free from the love of money and you must be content with what you have,
      because he has said, “I will never leave you and I will never abandon you.”
      6So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, and I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”

2. New Government:

  1. Remember your leaders, who spoke God’s message to you;

3. New Worship:

New Government—segue to a request:

  1. Obey your leaders and submit to them,
    because they keep watch over your souls and will give an account for their work.
    Let them do this with joy and not with complaints, for this would be no advantage for you.
  2. Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to conduct ourselves rightly in every respect.
  3. I especially ask you to pray that I may be restored to you very soon.

Concluding prayer:

  1. Now may the God of peace who by the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ, 21equip you with every good thing to do his will, working in us what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

Handwritten ending

  1. Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, bear with my message of exhortation, for in fact I have written to you briefly.
  2. You should know that our brother Timothy has been released. If he comes soon, he will be with me when I see you.
  3. Greetings to all your leaders and all the saints. Those of Italy send you greetings.
  4. Grace be with you all.
