NASB | Hebrews 13:17 ¶ Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 13:17 ¶ Obey your [spiritual] leaders and submit to them [recognizing their authority over you], for they are keeping watch over your souls and continually guarding your spiritual welfare as those who will give an account [of their stewardship of you]. Let them do this with joy and not with grief and groans, for this would be of no benefit to you. |
Subject: Who exactly are we submiting to in Heb13 |
Bible Note: A good question. My understanding is that it primarily speaks to our spiritual leaders (elders, pastor/teachers) in the areas of teaching the Scriptures accurately. If they are teaching the truth, then we are to submit to them. I remember Paul's words "Be imitators of me as I am of Christ." 1 Cor. 11:1 I had a great cross-reference for your Heb. 13:17.....1 Peter 5:2-4; that's a staggering duty for Shepherds of the flock. |
