OUR FATHER WHO IS THE JUDGE
The book of Hebrews chapter 13 verses 1 - 6 finalizes with counsel for believers to continue in love for one another and to show hospitality to strangers because there is a chance that the strangers could actually be angels.
The writer of Hebrews also reminds christians to be sexually pure and to restrict sexual activity to the marriage bed.
As well, christians are to eschew covetousness (or envy) and be content in all things because God is our helper and thus it is not appropriate to fear because there is an explicit promise by God that He would never leave us nor forsake us.
1 Let brotherly love continue. 2 Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels. 3 Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.
4 Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
6 So we may boldly say:
“The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?”
Amen.
