Chapter 1 – Greeting to the Faithful
1:1 These are the letters written to the Minifigs who are faithful and steadfast.

1:4 Grace be unto you, and sufficient clutch power.
1:5 May your footing be firm and your placement intentional.
1:6 You are remembered by the Builder, even when not moved for many seasons.

Chapter 2 – Of Purpose and Placement
2:1 Know that you were not molded without intent.
2:2 Each Minifig was designed to inhabit the Build and give it life.
2:3 Though some are central and others remain in the background, all give meaning to the scene.
2:4 For a city without Minifigs is orderly, but empty.
2:5 Despise not your placement, whether upon a street, within a room, or behind a wall.
2:6 For the Builder sees all positions as necessary.

Chapter 3 – Counsel Concerning Stability
3:1 Be mindful of your footing, O Minifigs.
3:2 Stand not upon a single stud without reason, lest you fall in the time of shaking.
3:3 Seek lawful connection and proper balance.
3:4 That which is forced will fail, and that which is unstable will topple.
3:5 If you are repositioned, do not resist.
3:6 For adjustment is not rejection, but refinement.

Chapter 4 – Correction for the Disorderly
4:1 There are some among you who lean unnecessarily.
4:2 And others who face no direction and confuse the scene.
4:3 These things ought not to be.
4:4 For even stillness has posture, and rest has alignment.
4:5 Be corrected without resentment.
4:6 For correction preserves both dignity and display.
⸻
Chapter 5 – Of Comparison and Contentment
5:1 Let not the plain envy the printed, nor the common resent the rare.
5:2 For worth is not measured by accessories, but by service.
5:3 A Minifig with no helmet may still be essential.
5:4 And one with many accessories may yet stand idle.
5:5 Be content with your role, whether dramatic or quiet.
5:6 For the scene requires both.
⸻
Chapter 6 – Encouragement to Endure
6:1 Some of you have stood unmoved through many dustings.
6:2 Others have been rebuilt often and know not permanence.
6:3 Endure with patience.
6:4 For whether you stand long or briefly, your presence is known.
6:5 The Builder remembers every Minifig, even those stored for a season.
6:6 No figure is forgotten forever.
⸻
Chapter 7 – Of Rebuilding and Renewal
7:1 Fear not dismantling, for it is not destruction.
7:2 Rebuilding is the way of improvement.
7:3 If you are removed from the Build, wait without despair.
7:4 If you are returned in a new form, rejoice.
7:5 For refinement comes through repetition.
7:6 And perfection is approached, not rushed.
⸻
Chapter 8 – Of Obedience to the Builder
8:1 Trust the hands that place you.
8:2 Though they may seem uncertain, their intent is good.
8:3 The Builder sees the whole, while you see only the stud beneath your feet.
8:4 Therefore submit to repositioning and rotation.
8:5 For no Minifig commands the Build alone.
⸻
Chapter 9 – A Charge to the Faithful
9:1 Stand firm, O Minifigs, and fulfill your role.
9:2 Face forward unless directed otherwise.
9:3 Support the scene through your presence.
9:4 Give life to the streets, the rooms, and the stories.
9:5 Be ready always for the next instruction.
9:6 For the Build is ongoing.

10:2 That you may labor faithfully wherever you are placed.
10:3 Remain lawful in connection and true in form.
10:4 Endure dust, time, and the movement of hands.
10:5 And remember always the saying of Lord Business:
10:6 Only the best is good enough.
10:7 Thus endeth the Epistle to the Minifigs.
