Having put away falsehood,
Let each of you speak the truth;
With your neighbor understood,
Being humbled not uncouth.
Be angry but do not sin,
At sundown upon your wrath;
Anger will corrupt within,
Erupting upon your path.
Nor give place to the devil,
Let the thief no longer steal;
It will allow more evil,
Dishonest work grows their zeal.
Do honest work with your hands,
Share with anyone in need;
Meeting the daily demands,
That your works for God succeed.
Never let corrupting talk,
Only say of what is good;
Remember Christ where you walk,
To do and say what you should.
Grieve not the Holy Spirit,
For the day of redemption;
When you are judged for merit,
Unsealing your salvation.
Let all bitterness and wrath,
Clamor and evil speaking;
Block slander crossing your path,
And darkness you are seeking.
Be kind to one another,
Passionate and forgiving;
Live in peace with your brother,
With harmonious living.
