³⁵ Evil has made them with child, and they give birth to trouble; and the fruit of their body is shame for themselves.

¹⁴ That man is a worker of evil; the seed of wrongdoing has given birth to deceit.

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.

⁴ No one puts forward an upright cause, or gives a true decision: their hope is in deceit, and their words are false; they are with child with sin, and give birth to evil.

⁵ They give birth to snake's eggs, and make spider's threads: whoever takes their eggs for food comes to his death, and the egg which is crushed becomes a poison-snake.

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

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.

¹⁵ Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.
