Tell believers to live the kind,
Of life having a humbled mind;
Be accurate with sound doctrine,
Teaching spiritual discipline.
Tell older men remain sober,
Not to act like a drunken soldier;
Having sound faith love and patience,
God rewards with perseverance.
Women must live lives in a way.
Ensuring their husbands not stray;
With faith dedicated to God,
As they also honor and laud.
Be a good mother and good wife,
Morally pure within your life;
Teach girls to be good homemakers,
And never to be heartbreakers.
Do not try to gossip or slander,
Never to flirt or philander;
Do not get hooked on a strong drink,
Be rationale when you do think.
Encourage men use good judgment,
An example of endearment;
Teaching them moral purity,
Showing honor and dignity.
Speak accurately and soundly,
As well as speaking profoundly;
So those oppose may be ashamed,
Knowing the truth that was proclaimed.
