Hebrews 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account… A captain whose ship was nearing a reel gave orders to keep off. To a remark of approval the captain replied, "It is necessary that I should be very careful, because I have souls on board. I think of my responsibility, and remember that souls are very valuable." Parallel Verses KJV: Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. |
