⁸ Because he who puts in the seed of the flesh will of the flesh get the reward of death; but he who puts in the seed of the Spirit will of the Spirit get the reward of eternal life.

¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace for those who make peace.

¹⁹ Saying that they will be free, while they themselves are the servants of destruction; because whatever gets the better of a man makes a servant of him.

¹³ For if you go in the way of the flesh, death will come on you; but if by the Spirit you put to death the works of the body, you will have life.

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

⁶ In the morning put your seed into the earth, and till the evening let not your hand be at rest; because you are not certain which will do well, this or that--or if the two will be equally good.

²¹ What fruit had you at that time in the things which are now a shame to you? for the end of such things is death.

²² But now, being free from sin, and having been made servants to God, you have your fruit in that which is holy, and the end is eternal life.

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

²¹ Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for life eternal through the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁴ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not give thought to the flesh to do its desires.

¹³ And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

³⁶ He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.

¹⁴ But whoever takes the water I give him will never be in need of drink again; for the water I give him will become in him a fountain of eternal life.

³⁰ Who will not get much more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.

²⁹ And everyone who has given up houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or child, or land, for my name, will be given a hundred times as much, and have eternal life.

¹³ You have been ploughing sin, you have got in a store of evil, the fruit of deceit has been your food: for you put faith in your way, in the number of your men of war.

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.

²⁰ Happy are you who are planting seed by all the waters, and sending out the ox and the ass.

⁸ By planting the seed of evil a man will get in the grain of sorrow, and the rod of his wrath will be broken.

⁵ Those who put in seed with weeping will get in the grain with cries of joy.

⁶ Though a man may go out weeping, taking his vessel of seed with him; he will come again in joy, with the corded stems of grain in his arms.

²⁷ Let your work not be for the food which comes to an end, but for the food which goes on for eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you, for on him has God the Father put his mark.

¹⁶ But for this reason I was given mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might make clear all his mercy, as an example to those who in the future would have faith in him to eternal life.

⁷ So that, having been given righteousness through grace, we might have a part in the heritage, the hope of eternal life.

¹² But these men, like beasts without reason, whose natural use is to be taken and put to death, crying out against things of which they have no knowledge, will undergo that same destruction which they are designing for others;

¹¹ Let the evil man go on in his evil: and let the unclean be still unclean: and let the upright go on in his righteousness: and let the holy be holy still.

¹³ Though good grain was planted, they have got in thorns: they have given themselves pain without profit: they will be shamed on account of their produce, because of the burning wrath of the Lord.
