Poetry

---

Who once was alienated,
And hostile within the mind;
Became not agitated,
Remaining humbled and kind.

He has now reconciled,
In His body by His death;
Because life had beguiled,
To the point of His last breath.

In order to present holy,
And be blameless above all;
Becoming meek and lowly,
Never to have a downfall.

Indeed, your faith continue,
Being stable and steadfast;
From the hope that you construe,
The Gospel to ever last.

For the Gospel you have heard,
Proclaimed in all creation;
Under Heaven from the Word,
Made Paul a new creation.

I rejoice in sufferings,
My sufferings for your sake;
The deeds of its offerings,
Of the benefits to make.

I fill up with what I lack,
In the afflictions of Christ;
For I will never look back,
On anything that enticed.

Because of which I became,
In the stewardship of God;
I continue to proclaim,
For you to honor and laud.

It is given unto me,
To fulfil the Word of God;
For you be able to see,
Just where you have been flawed.

The mystery was hidden,
For many generations;
That once had been forbidden,
Now having celebrations.

God chose for making it known,
How great among Gentiles;
So, they also can atone,
For changing their lifestyles.
