Exhortations
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Let brotherly love continue,
Neglect not hospitality;
Because some angels come to you,
Disguised as unknown deity.
Remember those who are in jail,
As though you were in there with them;
If mistreated then post their bail,
Only the Lord should He condemn.
Let marriage be held in honor,
The marriage bed undefiled;
An adulterer a goner,
For an adulterine child.
Keep life from the love of money,
Be content with what you possess;
Not lusting for milk and honey,
The Lord will be willing to bless.
The Lord will never forsake you.
He is with you to render aid;
Never fear what you would pursue,
Listen for Him when you have prayed.
