Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them/أُذْكُرُوا الأَسْرى كأَنَّكُم مَعَهُم مأْسُورُون، والْمُضَايَقِينَ كَأَنَّكُم أَنْتُم في جَسَدِكُم مُضَايَقُون

أُذْكُرُوا الأَسْرى كأَنَّكُم مَعَهُم مأْسُورُون، والْمُضَايَقِينَ كَأَنَّكُم أَنْتُم في جَسَدِكُم مُضَايَقُون
الرسالة إلى العبرانيّين12/من28حتى29/و13/من01حتى09/”يا إخوَتِي، بِمَا أَنَّنَا حَصَلْنَا على مَلَكُوتٍ لا يَتَزَعزَع، فَلْنَتَمَسَّكْ بِهذِهِ النِّعْمَة، وَلْنَعْبُدْ بِهَا اللهَ عِبَادَةً مَرْضِيَّة، بتَقْوًى وخُشُوع. فَإِنَّ إِلهَنَا نَارٌ آكِلَة! فَلْتَثْبُتْ فيكُمُ المَحَبَّةُ الأَخَوِيَّة. ولا تَنْسَوا ضِيَافَةَ الغُرَبَاء، فإِنَّ بِهَا أُنَاسًا أَضَافُوا المَلائِكَةَ وهُم لا يَدْرُون. أُذْكُرُوا الأَسْرى كأَنَّكُم مَعَهُم مأْسُورُون، والْمُضَايَقِينَ كَأَنَّكُم أَنْتُم في جَسَدِكُم مُضَايَقُون. لِيَكُنِ الزَّواجُ مُكَرَّمًا عِندَ الجَمِيع، والفِرَاشُ الزَّوجِيُّ نَقِيًّا، لأَنَّ اللهَ سَيَدِينُ الفُجَّارَ والزُّنَاة. لِيَكُنْ تَصَرُّفُكُم مُنَزَّهًا عَنْ حُبِّ المَال، وٱكْتَفُوا بِمَا عِنْدَكُم، لأَنَّ اللهَ نَفْسَهُ قَال: «لَنْ أُهْمِلَكَ، لَنْ أَتْرُكَكَ!». فَنَقُولُ واثِقِين: «أَلرَّبُّ عَونٌ لِي، لَنْ أَخَاف: مَاذا يَصْنَعُ بِيَ البَشَر؟». تَذَكَّرُوا مُدَبِّرِيكُمُ الَّذِينَ خَاطَبُوكُم بِكَلِمَةِ الله، وتأَمَّلُوا بِمَا ٱنْتَهَتْ إِلَيهِ سِيرَتُهُم، وٱقْتَدُوا بإِيْمَانِهِم. إِنَّ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحَ هُوَ هُوَ أَمْسِ واليَومَ وإِلى الأَبَد. لا تَنْقَادُوا لِتَعَالِيمَ مُتَنَوِّعَةٍ وغَرِيبَة، لأَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ أَنْ يُسْنَدَ القَلْبُ بِالنِّعْمَة، لا بِالأَطْعِمَةِ الَّتي لا تَنْفَعُ الَّذِينَ يُرَاعُونَ أَحْكَامَهَا.

 Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them
Letter to the Hebrews 12/28-29-13/01-09: “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us give thanks, by which we offer to God an acceptable worship with reverence and awe; for indeed our God is a consuming fire. Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them; those who are being tortured, as though you yourselves were being tortured. Let marriage be held in honour by all, and let the marriage bed be kept undefiled; for God will judge fornicators and adulterers. Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, ‘I will never leave you or forsake you.’So we can say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?’ Remember your leaders, those who spoke the word of God to you; consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever. Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings; for it is well for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by regulations about food, which have not benefited those who observe them.”
