Analysis of Christian Living
Be submissive to your rulers,
Obedient to magistrates;
Follow the law as it orders,
The authority advocates.
Speak evil not to anyone,
Not a brawler avoid quarrels;
Rather let gentleness be done,
By remembering your morals.
For we had been once led astray,
Foolish and disobedient;
As passions made us disobey,
Pleasures as a recipient.
Passing our days with envy,
Jealousy hated another;
But guilt made life to feel heavy,
After knowing Christ as a Brother.
Loving kindness from the Savior,
Not from the works that we had done;
But mercy and grace brought favor,
From the Father and through the Son.
Washing of regeneration,
Renewed through the Holy Spirit;
Guaranteed giving salvation,
Through both faith and our merit.
Richly through Christ whom He poured out,
That being justified by grace;
Eternal life without a doubt,
In which the Father does embrace.
I urge you for you to insist,
That those who do believe in God;
Affirming that He does exist,
Revering to honor and laud.
Devote yourself by doing good,
Excellent works as done for all;
As profitable as it should,
Preventing you taking a fall.
But avoiding foolish questions,
Any quarrels about the law;
Rather constructive suggestions,
Reduces chances of any flaw.
