O man of God, flee these things,
Pursue faith in godliness;
The gentleness what love brings,
Steadfastness in righteousness.
Keep fighting of the good fight,
Take hold of eternal life;
Faith that give you the insight,
Good confessions copes with strife.
I charge you in the sight of God,
Who has given life to all things;
Confession erases flawed,
Compassion and grace it brings.
Keep the commandments unstained,
Free from rebuke and reproach;
Until Jesus Christ has reigned,
When He reappears to coach.
He will display in His time,
King of kings and Lord of lords;
Judgment for committed crime,
And the just get their rewards.
Those with immorality,
Who are dwelling in the dark;
Cast for their iniquity,
The lake of fire embark.
As for the rich in this age,
Charge them not to be haughty;
Nor set their hopes in this stage,
And stop being so naughty.
They are to do honest deeds,
Be generous and to share;
Charitable to the needs,
Showing others that you care.
Storing up themselves their treasure,
To have a good foundation;
For the future with pleasure,
To assure their salvation.
