"So now, revere Yahweh and serve him in sincerity and faithfulness; remove the gods that your ancestors served beyond the river and in Egypt, and serve Yahweh.
So then, my dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, [because you] know that your labor is not [in] vain in the Lord.

Serve Yahweh with joy; come into his presence with exultation.
Serve Yahweh with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
serving with goodwill as to the Lord and not to people,
