Alternate translation: "Be obedient to the instructions of Christ" or "Always trust Christ's promises" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

# admonish one another

"caution and encourage one another"

# with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs

"with all sorts of songs to praise God"
