You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground,
You foolish ones, didn't he who made the outside make the inside also?
*But God said to him, 'You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared--whose will they be?'
He said to them, *Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
That which you sow, you don't sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.
Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise;
But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
