Death by Deceit - a poem by the Christian Bible


Now, Annanias and Saphirah sold a possession
And took the money without confession.
They were offerings to the temple, so far
If getting their money, they went their way.

"Can give only a portion of it," one of them said:
Smiling proudly at the idea in their head.
"Allows to lie and say that it is everything we own"
I bet believe you that we, they you never experienced.»

"We still never get keep some," they said very coldly.
Then they walked towards the temple, a bit of boldly.
"Allows to separate it will be easy to focus."
They'll think true step spoke forged.»

If Saphirah obeyed and through the door,
That left Annanias, set his foot on the ground.
The Apostle named Peter stood in the Centre,
Watch Annanias about to enter now.

And it was a proud look on his face.
He laid down his plays and pushed in place.
"This is what I have and I am giving to God."
But something in his voice sounds very strange.

Peter "Annanias" said: "why are you lying."
Annanias is afraid, but he kept trying.
"It's all I have" it told with denial.
But peter knew God, you cannot pollute.

"It is not the fact that your offer was low"
But the fact that you said the money was all.»
Then Annanias fell, and he died.
Peter "Bring far" said then.

The realized her fate and Saphirah walked in.
She did not know what happened, his face was a smile.
"This is what I have, she then said to Peter.
"Please take it" she smiled even sweeter.

"How could do you that?Peter then cried.
"Mr. Saphirah why you've lied."
"I lied not" she spoke very hoarse.
"It's everything that I am, Yes, of course."

Just like her husband, Saphirah then fell.
But without a cry, cry or yell.
Voided them, God because they had been extended.
They do not confess, they kept trying.

They the out and buried both.
This is a lesson for me and for you.
And when it comes to God, do not compete.
Annanias and Saphirah chose to death by deception.
