You fool!That whichyou sowdoes not come to lifeunlessit dies;
"Thoughits rootsgrowoldin the groundAnd its stumpdiesin the drysoil,
"You foolish ones,did not He who madethe outsidemakethe insidealso?
"But Godsaidto him, 'You fool!This[very] nightyour soulis requiredof you; and [now] whowill own whatyou have prepared?'
And He saidto them, "Ofoolish menand slowof heartto believein allthat the prophetshave spoken!
"Truly,truly,I sayto you, unlessa grainof wheatfallsinto the earthand dies,it remainsalone;but ifit dies,it bearsmuchfruit.
Professingto be wise,they became fools,
and that whichyou sow,you do not sowthe bodywhich is to be, but a baregrain,perhapsof wheatorof somethingelse.
Thereforebe carefulhowyou walk,not as unwise menbut as wise,
But are you willingto recognize,you foolishfellow,that faithwithoutworksis useless?
