Hebrews 13:1-9

CONCLUDING EXHORTATIONS TO LOVE (1); HOSPITALITY (2); KINDNESS TO PRISONERS AND THE SUFFERING (3); PURITY OF LIFE (4); CONTENTMENT (5); TRUSTFULNESS (6); SUBMISSION TO PASTORAL AUTHORITY (7, 8); STEADFASTNESS AND SPIRITUALITY (9)

We may notice that the style of the writer in this chapter offers more analogies to that of St Paul than in the rest of the Epistle (comp. Romans 12:1-21; Romans 14:17; Romans 15:33 with 1–6, 9, 20); the reason being that these exhortations are mostly of a general character, and probably formed a characteristic feature in all the Christian correspondence of this epoch. They are almost of the nature of theological loci communes.
