The Epilogue also contains the writer’s personal comments and farewell to their readers. Hebrews concludes with directions for Christian living. Love other Christians with special needs. Be morally pure, and keep a right attitude toward money. Offer to God sacrifices of praise. Follow joyfully those who lead your churches. Pray for one another. Listen carefully to the words of Scripture. The first section of the Epilogue contains moral directions for the readers. Obeying these would instill personal kindness to brothers and sisters (v. 1), strangers (v. 2), and prisoners (v. 3). The writer then called for sexual purity in which marriage is held in high regard (v. 4). The readers were also to avoid monetary greed and to be content with what they have (v. 5; cf. Luke 12:15; Phil. 4:11; 1 Tim. 6:6–10). Even if they had little on the material level, they had the Lord (Heb. 13:5) and His help (v. 6).
