Hebrews 13:4 Context
2Bee not forgetfull to entertaine strangers, for thereby some haue entertayned Angels vnawares. 3Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer aduersitie, as being your selues also in the body. 4Mariage is honorable in all, and the bed vndefiled: but whoremongers, and adulterers God will iudge. 5Let your conuersation bee without couetousnesse: and be content with such things as yee haue. For hee hath said, I will neuer leaue thee, nor forsake thee. 6So that wee may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not feare what man shall doe vnto me.
