Be strong in the grace,
As in Jesus Christ;
So, it can embrace,
From being enticed.
Entrust what you heard,
As told to others;
Written in the Word,
Said to your brothers.
Be certain to teach,
All others as well;
Be willing to preach,
On dangers of hell.
Be a good soldier,
Despite the hardship;
As a messenger,
In holy kinship.
No one gets involved,
In a daily life;
Things not resolved,
And causing them strife.
Winners of a race,
Must follow the rules;
Or will have disgrace,
For being the fools.
Farmers who work hard,
Should have the first share;
And not being marred,
Like one in despair.
The Lord gets first fruit,
The cream of the crop.
Farmers follow suit,
The next of the top.
Think of what I say,
You will understand;
Recall to obey,
What God does command.
Christ raised from the dead,
Who suffered distress;
Had endured instead,
For giving access.
I endure all things,
For the salvation;
The glory it brings,
A new creation.
