Meaning:
1
Dear friends, we must walk
In obedience to the Holy Spirit,
Surrendering ourselves to Him each day.
If we live according to the flesh,
We will eventually face serious judgment.
But if we follow the Spirit,
We can experience victory every day.
2
Since we have been called by the Holy One,
We must live lives worthy of that calling,
Following the holiness of the One who called us.
He will not tolerate impurity
Or any kind of sinful conduct,
For He is completely holy.
3
We must put to death the works of the flesh
And give up the desires of this world.
If we overcome them,
We can walk with our beloved Lord
And one day receive the reward He has prepared for us.
4
Let us seek to understand
The good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
Let us live as people of the light.
We must remember that goodness, righteousness,
And truth are the fruit of the light.
5
Let us put on the full armor of God
So that we can stand against our great enemy.
We must realize that the time is short
And that the enemy is constantly seeking
To deceive and destroy God's people.
6
Forgetting what lies behind
And looking toward what lies ahead,
Let us run with determination
Toward the heavenly goal.
One day, from the hands of Jesus,
The Author and Perfecter of our faith,
We will receive the crown of righteousness.
