Hospitality Hebrews 13

Hebrews 13:2
1Keep on loving each other as brothers. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.

Genesis 18: 1- 19: 1
The 3 Visitors (The Lord and 2 angels?)
Abraham treated them as his masters (bowed low to the ground, water to wash feet, bread, choice calf, curds and milk)
The Lord said Sarah will have a son the next year, God will make Abraham into a great nation and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him. To keep the way of the Lord

Abraham pleads for Sodom and Gomorrah (10 people)

Lot treats the angels as his masters and made them spend the night in his home and wash their feet. he baked bread for them too.

Romans 12 : 9- 13
9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.
11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
13 Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

1 Timothy 3 :1-2
1 Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer,[a] he desires a noble task.
2 Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,


TItus 1 :5-9
5 The reason I left you in Crete was that you might straighten out what was left unfinished and appoint[a] elders in every town, as I directed you.
6 An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.
7 Since an overseer[b] is entrusted with God's work, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.
8 Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.
9 He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.

1 Peter 4: 9
9 Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.
