Hebrews 13:19

Hebrews 13:19

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.

Benediction, Final Exhortation, Farewell

20 Now may ^athe God of peace ^bwho brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, ^cthat great Shepherd of the sheep, ^dthrough the blood of the everlasting covenant,

21 make you¹ complete in every good work to do His will, ^aworking in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

22 And I appeal to you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.

23 Know that our brother Timothy has been set free, with whom I shall see you if he comes shortly.

24 Greet all those who¹ rule over you, and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.

25 Grace be with you all. Amen.

That I may be restored to you the sooner (ina taxeion apokatastaqw umin). Purpose clause with ina and the first aorist passive subjunctive of apokaqisthmi, an old double compound as in Matthew 12:13. What is meant by taxeion (John 13:27; John 20:4) we do not know, possibly sickness. See verse Hebrews 13:23 also for taxeion.
