Main Text: Hebrews. 13:3New American Standard Bible (©1995)
Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body.
GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
Remember those in prison as if you were in prison with them. Remember those who are mistreated as if you were being mistreated.

Why Go To Prisons?

There are bad people whom Jesus wants us to give good news and encouragement for them to make a choice.
