Poetry

---

Be imitators of the Lord,
As being a beloved child;
While living in one accord,
So stop in your running wild.

Walk in love as Jesus loves us,
Gave himself up to sacrifice;
A fragrant offering as thus,
A sweet smelling taste to entice.

But sexual immorality,
As is proper among the saints;
Avoid any impurity,
By using spiritual restraints.

Stop any dealing with filthiness,
Nor of any crude foolish talk;
Rather giving thanks to profess,
In the steps of Christ to walk.

For of this you know to be sure,
No sexually immoral,
Any person who is impure,
Are not spiritually cordial.

Let know one ever deceive you,
Because empty words brings on wrath;
Know that the Word of God is true,
When on the straight and narrow path.

The sons of disobedience,
Will bring upon the wrath of God;
And disciplined for their offense,
Causing them in becoming flawed.

Do not become partners with them,
For they are walking in the dark;
God ensures that He will condemn,
Wherever that they will embark.

For at one time you were darkness,
But now you are light in the Lord;
Walk as children of the righteous,
While being in one accord.

For the fruit of light will be found,
In all that is good, right, and true;
Enjoyment of heavenly sound,
Consists of righteousness in you.
