...See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ...

...Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace...

...Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen... Be kind and compassionate to one another...

...Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy , not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you...



Praise the Lord.

Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise Him in His mighty heavens.
Praise Him for His acts of power;
praise Him for His surpassing greatness.
Praise Him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise Him with the harp and lyre,
praise Him with the tambourine and dancing,
praise Him with the strings and flute,
praise Him with the clash of cymbals,
praise Him with the resounding cymbals.

Let everything that has breathe praise the Lord.

PRAISE THE LORD!
