Obey

Remember your leaders, the men who spoke the word of God to you; look back upon the close of their career, and copy their faith.

Therefore, my beloved, as you have been obedient always and not simply when I was present, so, now that I am absent, work all the more strenuously at your salvation with reverence and trembling,

Brothers, we beg you to respect those who are working among you, presiding over you in the Lord and maintaining discipline;

Only, if anyone will not obey our orders in this letter, mark that man, do not associate with him ??that will make him feel ashamed!

Presbyters who are efficient presidents are to be considered worthy of ample remuneration, particularly those who have the task of preaching and teaching:

Submit

Well, I want you to put yourselves under people like that, under everyone who sets his hand to the work.

Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Well then, submit yourselves to God; resist the devil, and he will fly from you:

You younger men must also submit to the presbyters. Indeed you must all put on the apron of humility to serve one another, for the haughty God opposes, but to the humble he gives grace.

Give account

So he summoned him and said, 'What is this I hear about you? Hand in your accounts; you cannot be factor any longer.'

Each of us then will have to answer for himself to God.

for we have all to appear without disguise before the tribunal of Christ, each to be requited for what he has done with his body, well or ill.

With joy

in all my prayers for you all I always pray with a sense of joy

hold fast the word of life, so that I can be proud of you on the Day of Christ, because I have not run or worked for nothing.

So then, my brothers, for whom I cherish love and longing, my joy and crown, this is how you must stand firm in the Lord, O my beloved.

For who is our hope, our joy, our crown of pride (who but you?) in the presence of our Lord Jesus on his arrival?

How can I render thanks enough to God for you, for all the joy you make me feel in the presence of our God?

With grief

For many ??as I have often told you and tell you now with tears ??many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
