Hebrews 13:5 Context
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. 7Remember them which haue the rule ouer you, who haue spoken vnto you the word of God, whose faith follow, considering the end of their conuersation.
