15. Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise – the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.
16. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
17. Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.
18. Pray for us. We are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honourably in every way.
