Poetry

---

Be angry but do not sin,
Letting not the sun go down;
To righteously discipline,
Make a smile from a frown.

Give no chance to the devil,
Let the thief no longer steal;
Rather labor no evil,
Working with spiritual zeal.

He may have something to share,
But let no corrupting talk;
Only let edified care,
Give grace to those who flock.

Grieve not the Holy Spirit.
Who sealed you for redemption;
Think of what you inherit,
Avoid any temptation.

Let bitter anger and wrath,
Resentment be put away;
Avoiding to cross your path,
That would lead to go astray.

Be kind to one another,
To each other being true;
Grant your sister and brother,
As God in Christ forgave you.
