By you putting away falsehood, Let each one of you speak the truth; That each of you has understood, As your neighbor has been since their youth. You can be mad but do not sin, Anger, not past the setting sun; That peaceful slumber would begin, Calming tensions that had begun. Neither give place for the devil, Letting the thief no longer steal; Stop and labor not his evil, Avoid any wicked ordeal. Let not any corrupted talk, Exit out from your tongue and lips; Edify for others to walk, Words that promote fellowships. Minister grace to those who hear, But the Holy Spirit grieves not; Be glad that Judgment Day is near, And for the redemption is sought. Throw out all bitterness and wrath, Anger, and clamor, and slander; All malice that passes your path, Or scoffing from a bystander. So be kind to one another, Tenderhearted and forgiving; Treat them as sister and brother, As God in Christ has you living. Copyright © 2024 Richard Newton Sherrer Vote for this poem
