Amen, amen I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die,
I studied that I might know this thing, it is a labour in my sight:
For to this end Christ died and rose again; that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
If its root be old in the earth, and its stock be dead in the dust:
But bread-corn shall be broken small; but the thresher shall not thresh it for ever: neither shall the cart-wheel hurt it, nor break it with its teeth.
