Therefore
‘roll up the sleeves’ of your mind
be sober,
(and) set (your) hope fully
on the grace
that will be brought to you
when Jesus Christ will be revealed.
As obedient children,
do not be conformed to the previous evil-desires,
which (were yours) in ignorance
but as the one who called you, is holy
you yourselves also be holy
in all your conduct
because it is written:
You will be holy, because I am holy.
Lord, you have given me so much,
I ask for one more thing –
a grateful heart.
George Herbert
