Put up with some foolishness,
And just be tolerating me;
Because of the blessedness,
You will be able to see.
I am jealous over you,
With a godly jealousy;
Because of what to construe,
That it is not blasphemy.
One man to a pure virgin,
Through marriage for Jesus Christ;
To sacrifice for the sin,
From temptation that enticed.
I fear the serpent deceived,
With his cunning onto Eve;
No matter what you believed,
Of which your mind would conceive.
For your mind has been seduced,
From what is complete and pure;
Makes your will to be reduced,
And subjected to the lure.
If someone else comes to preach,
About another Jesus Christ;
Temptations within his reach,
A weakness make you enticed.
You get an unlike spirit,
Different from the Gospel;
You will never inherit,
And see the Holy Temple.
For I am inferior,
To the super-apostles;
But they have a drearier,
Contradictions that jostles.
I am untrained in speaking,
As well as in the knowledge;
But am constantly seeking,
In the truth to acknowledge.
I have committed no sin,
By humbling myself to you;
Since I preach to help you win,
A heritage that is true.
For the truth is within me,
This boasting will not be ceased;
Since God knows all that I see,
When I meet Him at the feast.
