Last time the writer began this last chapter with 3-commands in the first 3-verses: 1) To keep on loving each other, 2) Show hospitality to strangers and 3) Remember those in prison and those who are mistreated. He then presented a series of exhortations that included some social, private and religious exhortations covering such topics as: Honoring marriage; Don’t love money—be satisfied with what we have; The Lord is our helper; Remember the leaders who taught you the Word and Don’t be attracted to strange, new teachings. Today the writer will continue with more exhortations including encouraging the readers to make a final break with Judaism. Thanks for listening. Blessings and love in Christ!
