For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their labor.
Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.”
For God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so.
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always excel in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
The wicked man earns an empty wage, but he who sows righteousness reaps a true reward.
Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is known by its fruit.
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.
Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return.
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.
…while evil men and imposters go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
