⁷ Be not tricked; God is not made sport of: for whatever seed a man puts in, that will he get back as grain.

⁶ But in the Writings it says, He who puts in only a small number of seeds, will get in the same; and he who puts them in from a full hand, will have produce in full measure from them.

¹² Put in the seed of righteousness, get in your grain in mercy, let your unploughed earth be turned up: for it is time to make search for the Lord, till he comes and sends righteousness on you like rain.

⁶ Who will give to every man his right reward:

⁷ To those who go on with good works in the hope of glory and honour and salvation from death, he will give eternal life:

⁸ But to those who, from a love of competition, are not guided by what is true, will come the heat of his wrath,

⁹ Trouble and sorrow on all whose works are evil, to the Jew first and then to the Greek;

¹⁰ But glory and honour and peace to all whose works are good, to the Jew first and then to the Greek:

¹⁸ The sinner gets the payment of deceit; but his reward is certain who puts in the seed of righteousness.

³³ Do not be tricked by false words: evil company does damage to good behaviour.

⁷ For they have been planting the wind, and their fruit will be the storm; his grain has no stem, it will give no meal, and if it does, a strange nation will take it.

⁹ Have you not knowledge that evil-doers will have no part in the kingdom of God? Have no false ideas about this: no one who goes after the desires of the flesh, or gives worship to images, or is untrue when married, or is less than a man, or makes a wrong use of men,

⁸ What I have seen is that those by whom trouble has been ploughed, and evil planted, get the same for themselves.

⁶ Do not be turned from the right way by foolish words; for because of these things the punishment of God comes on those who do not put themselves under him.

¹⁴ His mind is ever designing evil: he lets loose violent acts.

³¹ So the fruit of their way will be their food, and with the designs of their hearts they will be made full.

³¹ Let him not put his hope in what is false, falling into error: for he will get deceit as his reward.

⁸ Will you have respect for God's person in this cause, and put yourselves forward as his supporters?

⁹ Will it be good for you to be searched out by him, or have you the thought that he may be guided into error like a man?

³ For if a man has an idea that he is something when he is nothing, he is tricked by himself.

³ You have been tricked by the pride of your heart, O you whose living-place is in the cracks of the rock, whose house is high up; who has said in his heart, Who will make me come down to earth?

⁸ And he said, Take care that you are not tricked: for a number of people will come in my name, saying, I am he; and, The time is near: do not go after them.

¹⁸ How they said to you, In the last days there will be men who, guided by their evil desires, will make sport of holy things.

⁷ My little children, let no man take you out of the true way: he who does righteousness is upright, even as he is upright;

¹⁸ Let no man have a false idea. If any man seems to himself to be wise among you, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Keep in mind, my son, that when you were living, you had your good things, while Lazarus had evil things: but now, he is comforted and you are in pain.

¹⁹ A false witness, breathing out untrue words, and one who lets loose violent acts among brothers.

²² But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas.

⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we are false to ourselves and there is nothing true in us.

³ Give no belief to false words: because there will first be a falling away from the faith, and the revelation of the man of sin, the son of destruction,

⁹ The Lord has said, Have no false hopes, saying to yourselves, The Chaldaeans will go away from us: for they will not go away.

²⁶ If a man seems to have religion and has no control over his tongue but lets himself be tricked by what is false, this man's religion is of no value.
