Those who have a faith so strong,
Must be patient with weakness;
Perseverance to prolong,
To receive the blessedness.
For those with a faith too weak,
You must not be conceited;
Render yourself to help seek,
Till torment is depleted.
All of us must be concerned,
About every neighbor;
Experience we have learned,
Can help them in their labor.
For the good things that will build,
Their faith like the thoughts of Christ;
As the blessings are instilled,
Of things that can be sacrificed.
Abuse from those who insult,
Have fallen unto the Lord;
Because their senseless assault,
His warnings have been ignored.
What was written long ago,
Was written for teaching us;
To learn as the rivers flow,
Not to moan and raise a fuss.
So we could have confidence,
And be able to endure;
For faith is our defense,
From temptation from a lure.
May God allow you to live,
In harmony and in peace;
Enable you to forgive,
So hostilities will cease.
Then you will have the same goal,
As you praise God the Father;
As His Spirit cleans your soul,
For the throne of your Brother.
Accept each other the same,
As being content with Christ;
And do not fear to proclaim,
What Jesus had sacrificed.
