I urge you to watch out,
Of those who will divide;
Others caused to have doubt,
No longer will abide.
Others may fall from grace,
From the Christian style;
Not to feel His embrace,
Forced into exile.
By teaching a doctrine,
That is never the same;
Will have no discipline,
The Gospel does proclaim.
So stay away from them,
They are not serving Christ;
God will merely condemn,
Since the dark side enticed.
They serve their desires,
Through their flattering words;
Deception acquires,
On the sniveling cowards.
But your obedience,
Makes me happy for you;
With spiritual defense,
That makes your faith hold true.
I want you to do good,
Avoid what is evil;
And doing as you should,
Fending off the devil.
For God will quickly smash,
Satan under your feet;
With His sword He will slash,
Making your life complete.
The Lord can strengthen you,
Through faith in the Gospel;
Doing what you should do,
Like Christ to the people.
The everlasting God,
Ordered what the prophets;
How to honor and laud,
And confess your debits.
