Hebrews 13:5 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.

8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace and not by foods of no value to those devoted to them.
