King James Version (KJV)
Hebrews 13:16 Context
13Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. 14For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. 15By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. 16But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 17Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. 18Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. 19But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

3 years AgoJames for verse 16The word communicate literally means to share and participate in. Think about other words that start the same way. Communion, community, common union, to have a sharing in. A participation. When the king James was translated they some of the same words we use today had quite a different meaning back then.Flag
