LAST SPEECH AND TESTIMONY OF
works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, adultery,
fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft,
hatred, variance, emulation, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
envying, murders, drunkenness, revellings, arid such like, of
the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time
past, that they which do such things, shall not inherit the
kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness,
temperance ; against such there is no law, and they that are
Christ’s have crucified the flesh, with the affections and lusts.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit, let us
not be desirous of vain-glory, provoking one another, envy¬
ing one another.” Gal. v. 19—26. “ Be not deceived, God
is not mocked : for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he
also reap : for he that soweth to his flesh, shall of the flesh
reap corruption : but he that soweth to the Spirit, shall of
the Spirit reap life everlasting: and let us not be weary in
well-doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all

Gal. vi. 7—10. “Then they that feared the Lord spake

when I make up my jewels, and I will spare them as a man
spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye re¬
turn and discern between the righteous and the wicked, be¬
tween him that serveth God, and him that serveth him not.”
Mai. iii. 16—18. “ Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be
well with him ; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
Woe unto the wicked, it shall be ill with him; for the reward
of his hands shall be given him. The show of their coun¬
tenance doth witness against them, and they declare their
sin as Sodom, they hide it not: Woe unto their soul, for
they have rewarded evil unto themselves.” Isa. iii. 10, 11, 9.
“ To the law and to the testimony, if they speak not ac¬
cording to this word, it is because there is no truth in them.”
Isa. viii. 20. “ But unto you that fear my name, shall the
Son of righteousness arise with healing in his wings ; and
ye shall go forth and grow up as calves of the stall.” Mai. iv.
2. “ And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face
