13:5 | [Let your] manner of life [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. |

13:21 | Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen. |
13:22 | And I beseech you, brethren, bear with this word of exhortation: for I have written a letter to you in few words. |

13:24 | Greet all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy greet you. |
