Them that have the rule; who guide you, by making known to you the will of God.

Submit yourselves; to be governed by his will, which they declare.

Watch for your souls; their object is to promote your salvation, by obeying God to whom they are accountable.

With joy; in having been instrumental of saving you.

Unprofitable for you; if you refuse to follow their guidance when they point out the path of duty, you not only grieve them, but injure yourselves and incur the wrath of God.
