Labour

The fruit of the righteous, is a tree of life, and, he that rescueth souls, is wise.

Say ye to the righteous It is well! For the fruit of their doings, shall they eat:

Be working, not for the food that perisheth, but for the food that endureth unto life age-abiding, - which, the Son of Man, unto you, will give; for upon, the same, hath the Father, even God, set his seal.

So, then, my beloved brethren, - become ye, steadfast, immovable, superabounding in the work of the Lord, at all times; knowing that, your toil, is not in vain in the Lord.

Be not deceiving yourselves! God, is not to be mocked; for, whatsoever a man soweth, the same, shall he also reap, -

For, not unrighteous, is God, to be forgetful of your work and of the love which ye have shewn forth for his name, in that ye have ministered unto the saints, and are ministering,

The fruit

So, every good tree, fine fruit, produceth, - whereas, the worthless tree, evil fruit, produceth:

Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree worthless, and its fruit worthless; for, from the fruit, the tree is known.

For, out of the heart, come forth wicked designs, - murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, profane speakings:

For, the wages of sin, is death; but, God's gift of favour, is life age-abiding, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And, their discourse, as a gangrene, will eat its way; - of whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

Whereas, wicked men and howling impostors, will force their way to the worse, deceiving and being deceived.
