Remember to be submissive,
To rulers and authorities;
Doing all that is permissive,
By remembering priorities.
Always to be obedient,
Ready for doing each good deed;
Never for being deviant,
In order to help you succeed.
Never speak evil of someone,
Avoid quarrel and be gentle;
Showing discourtesy to none,
Rather to be complemental.
Everyone was misguided,
Disobedient, led astray;
Because Satan had presided,
Of our lifestyle each day.
Slaves to passions and to pleasure,
Each day in malice and envy;
Greedy gathering their treasure,
Far away from God they will flee.
But when the goodness and kindness,
Of God our Savior appeared;
Will be removing the blindness,
Open their eyes so He is revered.
Saved not by works that we have done,
Rather to His mercy and grace;
Because of His begotten Son,
The Holy Spirit to embrace.
Washing of regeneration,
Revived by the Holy Spirit;
In order to give salvation,
That anyone would inherit.
He poured out upon us richly,
Through Jesus Christ our Savior;
While we follow His decree,
He shines upon us with favor.
Being justified by His grace,
So that we might becoming heirs;
Guarding us from the strife we face,
Consoled as said in our prayers.
As a person stirs division,
After warning once and then twice;
For they have another vision,
Allowing Satan to entice.
