Hebrews 13:17


Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch over your souls as those who must give an account. To this end, allow them to lead with joy and not with grief, for that would be of no advantage to you.


World English Bible (WEB)

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy, and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.


Strong's King James

Obey{G3982}{(G5732)} them that have the rule{G2233}{(G5740)} over you{G5216}, and{G2532} submit yourselves{G5226}{(G5720)}: for{G1063} they{G846} watch{G69}{(G5719)} for{G5228} your{G5216} souls{G5590}, as{G5613} they that must give{G591}{(G5694)} account{G3056}, that{G2443} they may do{G4160}{(G5725)} it{G5124} with{G3326} joy{G5479}, and{G2532} not{G3361} with grief{G4727}{(G5723)}: for{G1063} that{G5124} is unprofitable{G255} for you{G5213}.


The F.O.G *

(17) Obey your leaders and submit because they look after your lives as those who will give a word. So that they may do this with joy and not in groanings, for this is unprofitable to you.


The F.O.G Message *


Young's Literal Translation

Be obedient to those leading you, and be subject, for these do watch for your souls, as about to give account, that with joy they may do this, and not sighing, for this is unprofitable to you.
