If someone is caught doing wrong,
You should spiritually restore;
So, agony does not prolong,
For confession will hold the cure.
If you have a gentle spirit,
You watch out not to be tempted;
Do not wander from your merit,
Because no one is exempted.
Carry burdens of another,
In this way you fulfill the Law;
Helping in guiding your brother,
Having him confess of his flaw.
Because if anyone believes,
Himself for being important;
Having the power that conceives,
Could become very arrogant.
Each person should check his own deeds,
Then he will have reason as to boast;
And will understand of his needs,
Be able how to help the most.
For each person carries a load,
On their shoulder weighted burden;
While taking the winding road,
Too much for a single person.
Someone taught this message must share,
Of all good things with the teacher;
Because the teacher has to care,
Representing an out-reacher.
Be not deceived God is not mocked,
Whatever you sow you will reap;
So be careful where you have walked,
When harvested how much you keep.
The one who sows his flesh will draw,
The corruption of flesh will lust;
But sow the Spirit of the Law,
Reaps eternal life that will trust.
So, we must wear out doing good,
For we will reap at the right time;
Let faith do merely what you should,
That will help avoiding crime.
