Give to your servants that is just,
Knowing that you give to Heaven;
And that you keep putting your trust,
Being rewarded as given.
Continue steadfastly in prayer,
Watchful in it with thanksgiving;
Making assurance that you share,
The joys of all for your living.
At the same time please pray for us,
That God may open up the door;
Declare the mystery as thus,
Remaining faithful at the core.
Because the mystery of Christ,
For which I have been in the bonds;
And never to become enticed,
That there is one other responds.
That I may make it very clear,
For which is how I ought to speak;
That we should never have to fear,
Upon the truth that we will seek.
Walk in wisdom toward outsiders,
Making the best use of your time;
Stop them from being backsliders,
Whatever that they commit crime.
Let your speech always be gracious,
Seasoned with both sugar and salt;
For answering of each person,
So that you may know how you ought.
All my state shall declare to you,
A beloved sister or brother;
A fellow servant that is true,
To the Lord and one another.
So, I am sending unto you,
My blessings for the same purpose;
That you may know how to construe,
Encourage hearts to encompass.
You will make known of all these things,
Everything that took place here;
And of all the blessings it brings,
Knowing the Lord is always near
