Hebrews 13:17
Douay-Rheims
Obey your prelates, and be subject to them. For they watch as being to render an account of your souls; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief. For this is not expedient for you.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
G. P. "for your souls." In the Alexandrian manuscript these words are placed as in the Vulgate. Lachmann follows this order. St. Chrysostom re- marks : " he watches, his life is exposed, he is liable to be punished for your sins, and he is exposed to this constant fear on your account, whilst you are in- diflTerent and busy with trifles, and unwilling to obey."
