Be Generous and Do Good

(A)Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for (B)whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap (C)everlasting life. And (D)let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap (E)if we do not lose heart. 10 (F)Therefore, as we have opportunity, (G)let us do good to all, (H)especially to those who are of the household of faith.

κοινωνειτω δε ο κατηχουμενος τον λογον τω κατηχουντι εν πασιν αγαθοις

μη πλανασθε θεος ου μυκτηριζεται ο γαρ εαν σπειρη ανθρωπος τουτο και θερισει

οτι ο σπειρων εις την σαρκα εαυτου εκ της σαρκος θερισει φθοραν ο δε σπειρων εις το πνευμα εκ του πνευματος θερισει ζωην αιωνιον

το δε καλον ποιουντες μη εκκακωμεν καιρω γαρ ιδιω θερισομεν μη εκλυομενοι

10 αρα ουν ως καιρον εχομεν εργαζωμεθα το αγαθον προς παντας μαλιστα δε προς τους οικειους της πιστεως

And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing -- in all good things.

Be not led astray; God is not mocked; for what a man may sow -- that also he shall reap,

because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh shall reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap life age-during;

and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap -- not desponding;

10 therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith.

(A)The one who is taught (B)the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him. (C)Do not be deceived, (D)God is not mocked; for (E)whatever a person sows, this he will also reap. (F)For the one who sows to his own flesh will reap (G)destruction from the flesh, but (H)the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. (I)Let’s not become discouraged in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we (J)do not become weary. 10 So then, [a](K)while we have opportunity, let’s do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the (L)household of (M)the faith.
