Concluding Ethical Instructions

15 By him therefore let us offer a sacrifice of praise perpetually to God, that is the fruit of our lips confessing his name. 16 But of beneficence, and liberal distribution, be not unmindful: for such sacrifices God accepts with delight. 17 Obey your presidents, and be subject to them: for they are vigilant for your souls, as being to render an account, that they may do it with joy, and not groaning: for that would be disadvantageous for you.
