Concluding Ethical Instructions

15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips confessing his name. 16 And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. 17 Listen to your pastors, and do not resist them, for they watch for your souls as those that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief; for that is unprofitable for you.
