peace,
long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and
temperance: against such there is no law. ( fruit, nine in
number).
Number 10; signifies the
perfection of Divine Order, completeness

Poem: The Ten Commandments
"Above all else love God
alone; Bow down to neither wood or stone.
God's name refuse to take in vain, The Sabbath rest with care
maintain.
Respect your parents all your days; Hold sacred human life
always.
Be loyal to your chosen mate; Steal nothing, neither small nor
great.
Report with truth your neighbor's deed; And rid your mind of
selfish
greed."
