I found this in one of my Bibles

I found this in one of my Bibles.

As I write these things to you

I am hoping to come to you soon

But if I'm late, you will know how we must live in God's family

The community of the living God

We are the pillar and foundation of truth

We must agree that the secrete of our faith is great,

Christ appeared in a human body

He was shown to be right by the Spirit

He was seen by the angles

He was preached among the nations

He was believed in the world

He was taken up to heaven

Now as we are all servants to God

We must be respectable

We must be sincere

We must not drink too much wine

We must not be greedy for dirty money

We must hold onto the secrete of faith with a clear conscience

We must be above suspicion

We must be a faithful friend

We must be ensible

We must have self-control;

We must be organiized

We must love people enough to invite them into our homes

We must be a good teacher

We must not be a violent person

We must be gentle

We need to have good things said about us

Then we won't fall into shame and a trap of the devil

The Spirit clearly says that some people will pull away from the teachings in later times

Everything that God created is good

If anything is received with thanksgiving,

It should be accepted

It is made holy thro God's message and prayer

If you tell these things to your brother

You will be a good minister of Jesus Christ.
