Analysis of Approved Workers
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Of these things put in remembrance,
While being charged before God;
Quarrels can be an encumbrance,
And causing you to become flawed.
It is not doing any good,
To only ruins the hearers;
Do best to present as you should,
Demons can be interferers.
Nobody needs to be ashamed,
Justifying the Word of truth;
By anyone who has proclaimed,
But avoiding to be uncouth.
Avoid irreverent babble.
It gains others to godlessness;
Just controversy to dabble,
That is creating jealousness.
Their talk will spread like a gangrene,
Their words eat like a canker sore;
As their speech will become unclean,
By using a vulgar metaphor.
Concerning the truth who has swerved,
Saying resurrection has passed;
Upsetting a faith undeserved,
Making some to turn away fast.
The firm foundation of the Lord,
Knowing those of who are His own;
Pardoned iniquity ignored,
When they are summoned to His throne.
