I appeal unto you,
By the mercies of God;
To be loyal and true,
And to honor and laud.
Be able to present,
A living sacrifice;
And never to resent,
another or entice.
You have to be holy,
Acceptable to God;
Worshipping Him only,
Another is a fraud.
Conform not to this place,
Rather to be transformed;
Renewing in His grace,
As you have been informed.
Test that you may discern,
What is the will of God;
That is good you will learn,
Perfect and not be flawed.
For by the grace given,
That I say to each one;
Have your sights on Heaven,
And the Anointed Son.
Of yourself thinking not,
More highly than the Lord;
To think just as you ought,
Not let Him be ignored.
Sober judgment always think,
For faith in good measure;
Not consuming strong drink,
Rather thoughts of your treasure.
For the one that teaches,
Is teaching by serving;
Curates in outreaches,
As they are preserving.
For the one who exhorts,
Also, who contributes;
As well as who supports,
All godly attributes.
