Verse 1
God hopes more people will study carefully
when faced with God’s work and His words,
they’ll show piety and earnestness

Don’t follow the footsteps of those who are punished.
Do not be like Paul, more importantly,
who lost the sin offering, for he knew the true way,
but he defied it intentionally.

Receive His new work, the truth He utters,
then you will be able to gain God’s salvation.

hoping instead for more to be saved,
for more to keep up and follow His footsteps,
and enter into the kingdom of God.

then you will be able to gain God’s salvation.
Bridge
God treats all righteously, no matter what your age,
your seniority, your degree of suffering.
His disposition stays forever unchanged,
righteous in the face of all these things.
He favors no one, but cares if man accepts
His truth and new work, casting aside all other things.
Chorus
Receive His new work, the truth He utters,
then you will be able to gain God’s salvation.
Receive His new work, the truth He utters,
then you will be able to gain God’s salvation.
