Proverbs 10:16

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

The labors of the just one, to life: the increase of the unjust to sin.

See the chapter Copy

The fruit of the just a tree of life; and he taking souls is wise.

He pursuing justice and mercy shall find life, justice and honor.

For from the heart come forth evil reflections, slaughters, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, defamations:

Work not for food perishing, but food remaining to eternal life, which the Son of man will give you: for him God the Father sealed.

For the purchasing the provisions of sin, death; and the grace of God, life eternal in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be stable, unmoved, abounding in the work of the Lord always, knowing that our fatigue is not in vain in the Lord.

And evil men and impostors shall proceed to worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

For God is not unjust to forget your work and fatigue of love, which ye showed to his name, having served to the holy ones, and serving.
