⁹ Then you will call, and the LORD will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away from amongst you the yoke, finger pointing, and speaking wickedly;

¹⁰ and if you pour out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will rise in darkness, and your obscurity will be as the noonday;

¹¹ and the LORD will guide you continually, satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones strong. You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters don’t fail.

⁴ But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else.

⁵ For each man will bear his own burden.

⁶ But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.

⁷ Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

⁸ For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

⁹ Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up.

¹⁰ So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good towards all men, and especially towards those who are of the household of the faith.
