Hebrews 13:16
Compare all
14 For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come.
15 aTherefore by Him let us continually offer bthe sacrifice of praise to God, that is, cthe fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.  
16 aBut do not forget to do good and to share, for bwith such sacrifices God is well pleased.  
17 aObey those who1 rule over you, and be submissive, for bthey watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.  

Prayer Requested

18 aPray for us; for we are confident that we have ba good conscience, in all things desiring to live honorably.  
19 But I especially urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

To do good (thv eupoiiav). Genitive case. Late compound from eupoiov (eupoiew), common in Epictetus, but here only in N.T., a doing good.

To communicate (koinwniav). Genitive case. See II Corinthians 9:13 for use for contribution, beneficence. Moffatt notes that the three great definitions of worship and religious service in the N.T. (here, Romans 12:1 f.; James 1:27) are all inward and ethical.

Forget not (mh epilanqanesqe). Prohibition with mh and the present middle imperative of epilanqanw (Hebrews 6:10; Hebrews 13:2). Here with the genitive case.

Is well pleased (euaresteitai). Present passive indicative of euarestew (Hebrews 11:5). With the associative instrumental case qusiaiv (sacrifices).
