7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 The one who sowsto please his sinful nature, from that nature will reapdestruction; the one who sows to please theSpirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the propertime we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do goodto all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
