For God is not [so] unjust as to forget the work you are doing and the love you have shown for Him, as you ministered to the saints [i.e., His holy people] and continue to minister [to them].

Do not forget to show hospitality toward strangers, for by doing this, some people have entertained angels without realizing it.

But do not forget to do good deeds and share [with others], for God is very pleased with such "sacrifices."

But, these people intentionally forget that the heavens, which existed long ago, and the earth, which was formed out of water and by water, [were created] by the word of God.

But do not forget this one thing, my dearly loved ones, that as the Lord [counts time], one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day.
