Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened, except it die:
Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, And the stock thereof die in the ground;
Ye foolish ones, did not he that made the outside make the inside also?
But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
And he said unto them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
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.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other kind;
Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise;
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren?
