(2) Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Another verse from Scripture that says angels are among us and sometimes take human form. We never know if the person in need is an angel, who, at God's command, checks what kind of heart we have. This verse, can also mean hospitality to persecuted Christians.

Hebrews 1.1-14 "[1] God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, [2] Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; [3] Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; [4] Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. [5] For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? [6] And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
