Bearing fruit » Reaping what you sow
Say ye to the righteous It is well! For the fruit of their doings, shall they eat: Alas! for the lawless, it is ill, For what his own hand hath matured, shall he done to him.
Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap ye at thc bidding of lovingkindness, furrow to yourselves the newly-ploughed soil, - then will be the time to seek Yahweh, until he come, that he may rain down righteousness for you. Ye have plowed lawlessness, perversity, have ye reaped, ye have eaten the fruit of deception, - because thou didst trust in thy chariots, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
For, near, is the day of Yahweh, upon all the nations, - Just as thou hast done, shall it be done to thee, Thy dealing, shall come back upon thine own head. For, as ye have drunk on my holy mountain, all the nations shall drink continually, - Yea they shall drink and swallow down, and shall be, as though they had not been.
Be not deceiving yourselves! God, is not to be mocked; for, whatsoever a man soweth, the same, shall he also reap, - Because, he that soweth into his own flesh, out of the flesh, shall reap corruption, whereas, he that soweth into the Spirit, out of the Spirit, shall reap age-abiding life.
Knowing that, each one, whatsoever he may do that is good, the same, shall he receive back from the Lord, whether bond or free.
