Exegesis
The verse begins with the genitive phrase tēs philoxenias {τῆς φιλοξενίας | tês philoxenías}, which functions as the object of the verb epilanthánesthe {ἐπιλανθάνεσθε | epilanthánesthe} because this verb regularly takes a genitive complement, yielding the sense “do not neglect hospitality.” Placing the genitive first foregrounds the theme of hospitality before issuing the command.
In context — Hebrews 13:2
Do not neglect hospitality , for through this, some have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.
