Galatians 6:8-9
because the one who sows to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.So we must not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up.

James 3:18
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who cultivate peace.
-
Hosea 10:12-13
Sow righteousness for yourselves and reap faithful love; break up your unplowed ground. It is time to seek the Lord until He comes and sends righteousness on you like the rain.You have plowed wickedness and reaped injustice; you have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your own way and in your large number of soldiers,

but they set an ambush to kill themselves; they attack their own lives.

Job 27:13-23
This is a wicked man’s lot from God, the inheritance the ruthless receive from the Almighty.Even if his children increase, they are destined for the sword; his descendants will never have enough food.Those who survive him will be buried by the plague, yet their widows will not weep for them.Though he piles up silver like dust and heaps up a wardrobe like clay—he may heap it up, but the righteous will wear it, and the innocent will divide up his silver.The house he built is like a moth’s cocoon or a booth set up by a watchman.He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more; when he opens his eyes, it is gone.Terrors overtake him like a flood; a storm wind sweeps him away at night.An east wind picks him up, and he is gone; it carries him away from his place.It blasts at him without mercy, while he flees desperately from its grasp.It claps its hands at him and scorns him from its place.

Ephesians 4:22
You took off your former way of life, the old self that is corrupted by deceitful desires;

Isaiah 59:5-8
They hatch viper’s eggs and weave spider’s webs. Whoever eats their eggs will die; crack one open, and a viper is hatched.Their webs cannot become clothing, and they cannot cover themselves with their works. Their works are sinful works, and violent acts are in their hands.Their feet run after evil, and they rush to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are sinful thoughts; ruin and wretchedness are in their paths.They have not known the path of peace, and there is no justice in their ways. They have made their roads crooked; no one who walks on them will know peace.
