Concluding Ethical Instructions

15 For by him offer we the sacrifice of praise always to God: that is to say, the fruit of those lips, which confess his name. 16 To do good, and to distribute, forget not: for with such sacrifices God is pleased. 17 Obey them that have the oversight of you, and submit yourselves to them, for they watch for your souls, even as they that must give accounts for them: that they may do it with joy, and not with grief. For that is an unprofitable thing for you.
