17 Obedecei a vossos guias, sendo-lhes submissos; porque velam por vossas almas como quem há de prestar contas delas; para que o façam com alegria e não gemendo, porque isso não vos seria útil.
17
Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.
