Works and Faith

The end of all things is at hand,
be sober watching unto prayer.
Be sure to speak the oracles of God,
that God may know you care.

In many things we offend all,
for we all are as sheep gone astray.
If a man thinks himself to be something,
all his glory shall whither away.

Feed the flock of God which are among you,
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear.
you shall receive a crown of glory,
that shall never disappear.

For what profit is it to a man of faith,
whom has no works to show?
For we labor in the works of God,
as faith directs the way to go.

If you please the Father through Christ,
the same is a perfect man.
He abides in the shadow of the almighty,
for the light of God he understands.
