Conduct

Philippians 1:27-28

New English Translation

27 Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ so that—whether I come and see you or whether I remain absent—I should hear that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind, by contending side by side for the faith of the gospel, 28 and by not being intimidated in any way by your opponents. This is a sign of their destruction, but of your salvation—a sign which is from God.

 

If conduct is well, and appearance is right

The gospel in Christ is glorified

Stand fast in one Spirit and the purpose of Life

To through baptism removing all strive

 

Oneness in Spirit and oneness thereof

Unites us all together incall

No thoughts nor feelings will now interfere

In our service to the All in All

 

Under the Spirit, this gift from the Holy

Will help emotion to be constrained

Disregarded thoughts undermining the oneness

As the flesh will be contained
