Know those who labor amongst you,
Those over you are in the Lord;
Esteem them in love what they do,
For their work is never ignored.

Amongst yourselves remain at peace,
Admonish the slothfulness;
Support who are weak to release,
An inspirational rightness.

Be patient with each one of them,
Pay no one evil for evil;
Judge no body as to condemn;
But encourage what is fruitful.

Pray without ceasing and rejoice,
Give thanks in all circumstances;
Unto the Lord lift up your voice,
The Holy Spirit enhances.

Never try to despise prophecies,
But test everything if it’s true;
Hold fast to the good policies,
That the Lord has told unto you.

Abstain from all forms of evil,
Holding fast only what is good;
Avoid the works of the devil,
Following only where Christ would.
