¹⁹ Rightly `is' righteousness for life, And whoso is pursuing evil -- for his own death.

²³ The fear of Jehovah `is' to life, And satisfied he remaineth -- he is not charged with evil.

¹⁶ The wage of the righteous `is' for life, The increase of the wicked for sin.

²⁸ In the path of righteousness `is' life, And in the way of `that' path `is' no death!

¹⁰ In this manifest are the children of God, and the children of the devil; every one who is not doing righteousness, is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother,

⁷ Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing the righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous,

²³ for the wages of the sin `is' death, and the gift of God `is' life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.

⁸ and to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness -- indignation and wrath,

⁹ tribulation and distress, upon every soul of man that is working the evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;

³⁵ but in every nation he who is fearing Him, and is working righteousness, is acceptable to Him;

⁴ Wealth profiteth not in a day of wrath, And righteousness delivereth from death.

³⁶ And whoso is missing me, is wronging his soul, All hating me have loved death!

²² He is going after her straightway, As an ox unto the slaughter he cometh, And as a fetter unto the chastisement of a fool,

²³ Till an arrow doth split his liver, As a bird hath hastened unto a snare, And hath not known that it `is' for its life.

¹⁶ For their feet to evil do run, And they haste to shed blood.

¹⁷ Surely in vain is the net spread out before the eyes of any bird.

¹⁸ And they for their own blood lay wait, They watch secretly for their own lives.

¹⁹ So `are' the paths of every gainer of dishonest gain, The life of its owners it taketh.
