Therefore
I shall be ready to remind you
always
about these things
although
(you) know (them)
and have been established
in the truth
that you have.

And I think it right,
as long I am in this tent,
to awaken you in remembrance
knowing that
the taking off of my body
is soon
also Our Lord Jesus Christ
has made clear (it) to me.
So I will also do my best
to see that
after my departure
you might always have a remembrance of these things.

Lord, you have given me so much,
I ask for one more thing –
a grateful heart.

George Herbert
