Of these things put in remembrance,
And charging them before the Lord;
Strive not the words that encumbrance,
Which do no good should be ignored.
Do your best in approaching God,
For there is no need to be ashamed;
Handling the truth while you laud,
While each day you have proclaimed.
Avoid irreverent babble,
It will lead to ungodliness;
Stick to as read in the Bible,
To be assured its blessedness.
Their talk will spread like a gangrene,
Their words spoken is like cancer;
So, we amputate the unclean,
Chemo can be an enhancer.
Those swerved from the truth in error,
Say resurrection has happened;
Causing faith to be in terror,
God has already abandoned.
The firm foundation of God stands,
To those who are bearing His seal;
If they abide by His commands,
The Holy Spirit will give zeal.
In a great house vessels of gold,
As well as vessels of silver;
Looking honorable and bold,
Shining upon us with favor.
Cleanse what is dishonorable,
Only as honorable use;
God sees you as favorable,
Through all the good work you produce.
Flee from all the youthful passion,
Pursue righteousness, faith and love;
A pure heart in Christian fashion,
Peace and charity from above.
Avoid foolish and dumb questions,
You know they breed quarrels and strife;
Look unto the Lord for suggestions,
To ease controversies in life.
Maybe they come to their senses,
Escape from the snare of Satan;
Captured, trapped behind his fences,
Causing the stress to be straiten.
