Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit.
There shall be abundance of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains;\par\tab The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon:\par\tab And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd;\par\tab And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws;\par\tab And thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
For to this end Christ died and lived {\i again}, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
Though the root thereof wax old in the earth,\par\tab And the stock thereof die in the ground;
Bread {\i grain} is ground; for he will not be always threshing it: and though the wheel of his cart and his horses scatter it, he doth not grind it.
