So now within a great house,
Vessels of silver and gold;
Are being used by the spouse,
And others in the household.
Some also of wood and clay,
Some for honorable use;
Some are used every day,
And others when in recluse.
If anyone purges these,
He’s a vessel of honor;
Let him fall down on His knees,
Confessing as a fawner.
Sanctified set as holy,
Useful unto the master;
Doing of good work only,
Diligently and faster.
Flee from all youthful passion,
Start pursuing righteousness;
Being in spiritual fashion,
So that the Lord God will bless.
Those who call upon the Lord,
In faith having a pure heart;
Love and peace are not ignored,
In your mind for a new start.
Avoid any foolishness,
Ignorant controversies;
Or ungodly ghoulishness,
As God will give His mercies.
The Lord’s servant must not strive,
But kind to everyone;
Praising God to be alive,
Able to teach of the Son.
Be patient, endure evil,
Being meek through instruction;
Avoid works of the devil,
Comes from death and destruction.
God may grant them repentance,
For acknowledging the truth;
Saving from a death sentence,
From foolishness of your youth.
