No it isn't all you need.

KJV
Hebrews 13:7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken
unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of
[their] conversation. 

The Darby Bible
Hebrews 13:7 Remember your leaders who have spoken to you the word of
God; and considering the issue of their conversation, imitate their
faith. 

Young's Literal Translation
Hebrews 13:7 Be mindful of those leading you, who did speak to you the
word of God, whose faith -- considering the issue of the behaviour -- be
imitating,

Remember _not_ obey is the word.  Bring to mind, recall; obey isn't the
word used.  The last part of that verse is even more a reason to
disagree with that statement.  Considering their (the ruler)
conversation (or life).

Not to mention, the various little verses about letting all things be
established with 2 or 3 witnessess; here a little/there a little;
rightly dividing the Word of God; etc, etc.

This must be one of the most incorrectly quoted verses in the Bible.
