Concluding Ethical Instructions

15 Let our sacrifice then, which we are to offer to God by Jesus Christ, be that of incessant praises, the offering of our lips, which celebrate his name: 16 but don't forget to be beneficent to the community; for such sacrifice is acceptable to God. 17 Confide in your guides, and be respectful: that they who are vigilant, as being accountable for your souls, may discharge themselves with cheerfulness, and not with anxiety, which would be to your prejudice.
