Hebrews 13:2

The stranger and outcastGenerosityAngels and the spiritual world

1 Continue in brotherly love.

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.

3 Remember those in prison as if you were bound with them, and those who are mistreated as if you were suffering with them.

4 Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
