Poetry

---

Allow your love be without any deceit,
While hating evil and causing it defeat;
Be kind to each other of brotherly love,
Thinking of others first and God above.

Be not slow or attempt to procrastinate,
Rather be quick in spirit and illuminate;
As His servant you have joyous in hope,
Praying constantly as troubles you cope.

Catering to the saints being as a family,
Giving of you unto others hence joyfully;
Give blessing rather than others a curse,
Though they might be cruel or perverse.

Rather be in harmony with one another,
Treating them as your sister or brother;
And never cling onto any boastful pride,
Rather be in agreement of others inside.

Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom,
Or as superior to the Heavenly Kingdom;
Rather be honest in all you say and do,
Keep in your mind for remaining true.
