Galatians 6:7-9

⁷Listen, you’ve got to understand his properly. Nobody can ever trick God, so don’t ever think you can do that. I’ll tell you a picture story about seeds. A gardener plants different kinds of seeds in his garden, then later he gets the food from the plants that come from those seeds. Whatever kind of seed he plants, that’s the kind of food he gets.

⁸Well, it is like that with us people. Some of us do good things, and some of us do bad things. And then we get back the same kind of things that we do. Some people only think about what will make them feel good, so they do bad things. Later they will get something bad. They will die. But other people listen to God’s spirit and do good things. Later they will get something good. God’s spirit will let them live for ever.

⁹So we have to keep going the right way. Don’t get tired of doing good things, and later, God will give you lots of good things.
