Galatians 6:8

He who soweth in the flesh, reapeth from the flesh corruption: and he who soweth in the Spirit, will from the Spirit reap life everlasting.

James Murdock's Translation of the Syriac Peshitta

In The King James Version

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.

9And while we do what is good, let it not be wearisome to us; for the time will come when we shall reap, and it will not be tedious to us.
