Thus says Yahweh, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:

Galatians 6:7-8
Don't delude yourself: God is not to be fooled;
whatever someone sows, that is what he will reap.
8 If his sowing is in the field of self-indulgence,
then his harvest from it will be corruption; if his sowing is in the Spirit,
then his harvest from the Spirit will be eternal life.
