Analysis of Ethical Christians
Let your love be genuine,
Abhorring what is evil;
Spiritually discipline,
In resisting the devil.
Show brotherly affection,
In loving one another;
A heavenly direction,
Showing respect and honor.
Do not be slothful in zeal,
Rather fervent in spirit;
Serving the Lord to appeal,
Doing all that you merit.
Rejoice in your faith and hope,
Patient in tribulation;
Adversities learn to cope,
For a new revelation.
Contribute needs for the saints,
Showing hospitality;
Catering without restraints,
Through your cordiality.
Bless those who persecute you,
Bless and never to curse them;
Spiritually to construe,
And let the Lord to condemn.
Rejoice with those who rejoice,
Weep with anyone who cries;
In harmony with your voice,
Help their faith and hope to rise.
Agree with one another,
Never be wise in your sight;
Not haughty with each other,
Rather be a Christian light.
