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

⁹ Happy are the peacemakers: for they will be named sons of God.

¹¹ Being full of the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

¹⁶ Then in the waste land there will be an upright rule, and righteousness will have its place in the fertile field.

¹⁷ And the work of righteousness will be peace; and the effect of an upright rule will be to take away fear for ever.

¹¹ At the time all punishment seems to be pain and not joy: but after, those who have been trained by it get from it the peace-giving fruit of righteousness.

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.

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.

³⁰ The fruit of righteousness is a tree of life, but violent behaviour takes away souls.

¹² Is it possible for horses to go running on the rock? may the sea be ploughed with oxen? for the right to be turned by you into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into a bitter plant?

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

²⁰ For the righteousness of God does not come about by the wrath of man.

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.

²⁸ He who puts his faith in wealth will come to nothing; but the upright man will be full of growth like the green leaf.
