Respect the government
Be law-abiding
Always ready to lend a helping hand
No insults
No fights
Be bighearted
Be courteous.
BE LIKE THIS!
we used to be...Stupid and stubborn
Dupes of sin
Ordered every which way by our glands
Going around with a chip on our shoulder
Hated and hating back.
DONT BE LIKE THIS AGAIN!
Because God, through Jesus, gave us GRACE.
and we were changed; turned new.
and it had nothing to do with us, it was all GOD!
1-2Remind the people to respect the government and be law-abiding, always ready to lend a helping hand. No insults, no fights. God's people should be bighearted and courteous.
3-8It wasn't so long ago that we ourselves were stupid and stubborn, dupes of sin, ordered every which way by our glands, going around with a chip on our shoulder, hated and hating back. But when God, our kind and loving Savior God, stepped in, he saved us from all that. It was all his doing; we had nothing to do with it. He gave us a good bath, and we came out of it new people, washed inside and out by the Holy Spirit. Our Savior Jesus poured out new life so generously. God's gift has restored our relationship with him and given us back our lives. And there's more life to come—an eternity of life! You can count on this.
