Respect all those who labor,
And over you in the Lord;
Give a hand to your neighbor,
Never let them be ignored.
Esteem them very highly,
In love for all that they do;
Never bashful or shyly,
Anyone approaching you.
Remember to be at peace,
Always encourage others;
That their life has a new lease,
For your sisters and brothers.
Exhort those who are idle,
Encourage the fainthearted;
Not to be suicidal,
Become dearly departed.
Repay no one for evil,
But seek to do what is good;
Let not work of the devil,
Stop from doing as you should.
Rejoice in everything,
And to pray without ceasing;
See all the joy it will bring,
Blessings ever increasing.
Give thanks for everything,
For this is the will of God;
Songs of joy be sure to sing,
Above all honor and laud.
Quench not the Holy Spirit,
Do not despise prophecies;
The keys that you inherit,
Will unlock the door for these.
Hold fast unto what is good,
Abstain from what is evil;
Do all the things that you should,
While resisting the devil.
I charge you in solemn oath,
Before the Lord Jesus Christ;
You continue in your growth,
Reasons He was sacrificed.
