Concluding Ethical Instructions
15 Let us then make offerings of praise to God at all times through him, that is to say, the fruit of lips giving witness to his name. 16 But go on doing good and giving to others, because God is well-pleased with such offerings. 17 Give ear to those who are rulers over you, and do as they say: for they keep watch over your souls, ready to give an account of them; let them be able to do this with joy and not with grief, because that would be of no profit to you.
