Psalms 17:14

They have many children,
and leave their wealth to their offspring.

he will never lose his reward.”

just as you did it for one of the least of these brothers or sisters
of mine, you did it for me.’

will reap corruption
from the flesh,
but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.

in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up.
