Hebrews 13:2

The stranger and outcastGenerosityAngels and the spiritual world

1 Let brotherly love continue.

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
