I ask and urge you in the Lord,
That as you have received from me;
You ought to walk in one accord,
To please God what you do and see.
Because you know the instructions,
That were given you through the Lord;
Guarding against the obstructions,
Never allow them be ignored.
Because this is the will of God,
For having sanctification;
Continue to honor and laud,
And abstain from depravation.
Each of us knows how to control,
Their own body in holiness;
Keeping purity of their soul,
Which will prevent their loneliness.
Rather than passion of a lust,
Like Gentiles who do not know;
But by giving God all your trust,
Allowing His glory to show.
No one should transgress doing wrong,
For the Lord is an avenger;
Be weary of where you belong,
With keeping you from all danger.
God calls us not for impureness,
Never to disregard His Word;
Rather to be in holiness,
And heeding to all that you heard.
Disregard man instead of God,
Who gives His Spirit unto you;
And will cleanse you where you have flawed,
Gaining your spiritual value.
For concerning brotherly love,
No need for anyone to write;
As taught by God from above,
To see the glory of His light.
Indeed, for what you are doing,
Throughout your life to your brothers;
More of what you are pursuing,
Which is showing love for others.
Aspire to live quietly,
And in minding your own affairs;
So that you walk passionately,
Lacking nothing that someone shares.
