For the wages of sin {is} death; but the gift of God {is} eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Say ye to the righteous, that {it shall be} well {with him}: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. {Labour not: or, Work not}

For God {is} not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness {shall be} a sure reward.

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by {his} fruit.

The fruit of the righteous {is} a tree of life; and he that winneth souls {is} wise. {winneth: Heb. taketh}

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; {canker: or, gangrene}

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

As righteousness {tendeth} to life: so he that pursueth evil {pursueth it} to his own death.

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

In the way of righteousness {is} life; and {in} the pathway {thereof there is} no death.
