Obey

Be mindful of them who are guiding you, who, indeed, have spoken unto you, the word of God: the outgoing of whose behaviour, reviewing, be imitating, their faith.

But the people refused to hearken unto the voice of Samuel, - and they said - Nay! but, a king, shall be over us:

Wherefore, then, didst thou not hearken unto the voice of Yahweh, - but didst rush upon the spoil, and do that which was wrong in the sight of Yahweh?

Neither hearkened I to the voice of my teachers, nor, to my instructors, inclined I mine ear:

So, then, my beloved - even as ye have always obeyed, not asin my presence only, but, now, much more, in my absence, with fear and trembling, your own salvation, be working out;

Now we request you, brethren, - to know them who are toiling among you, and presiding over you, in the Lord, and admonishing you;

And, if anyone be not giving ear unto our word through means of this letter, on this one, set a mark - not to be mixing yourselves up with him, - that he may be reproved;

Let, the well presiding elders, of double honour, be accounted worthy, especially they who toil in discourse and teaching;

Submit

And the messenger of Yahweh said to her, Return unto thy lady, - and humble thyself under her hands.

That, ye also, be submitting yourselves unto such as these, - and unto everyone helping in the work and toiling.

Submitting yourselves one to another in reverence of Christ, -

Range yourselves, therefore, under God, but withstand the adversary, and he will flee from you:

In like manner, ye younger men - submit yourselves unto elders; - All, however, one towards another, gird on humility; because, God, against the haughty, arrayeth himself, whereas, unto the lowly, he giveth favour.

Give account

And, accosting him, he said unto him - What is this I hear of thee? Render the account of thy stewardship, for thou canst no longer be steward.

Hence, then, each one of us, of himself shall give account unto God.

For, we all, must needs be made manifest before the judgment seat of the Christ, that each one may get back the things done by means of the body, according to the things which he practised, whether good or corrupt.

With joy

At all times, in every supplication of mine, in behalf of you all, with joy, my supplication, making, -

A word of light, holding forth, - as a matter of boasting unto me, for the day of Christ, - that, not in vain, I ran, nor, in vain, I toiled: -

So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, - thus, stand fast in the Lord, beloved.

For what shall be our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? Shall not even, ye, before our Lord Jesus, in his Presence?

For what thanksgiving can we render back, unto God, concerning you, on occasion of all the joy wherewith we rejoice, for your sakes, before our God? -

With grief

So Moses returned unto Yahweh, and said, - Oh now, this people hath sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves - gods of gold.

But if ye will not hear it, In secret places, shall my soul weep Because of the pride, And mine eye, shall flow over, and run down with tears, Because captive hath been taken the flock of Yahweh.

For, many, are walking - of whom I have often been telling you, and, now, even weeping, am telling, - the enemies of the cross of the Christ;
