Hebrews 13:4 in context

The verses around it, from Hebrews 13.

1 Continue in brotherly love.

2 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.

5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”

6 So we say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”

7 Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.
