                                  Chapter 23
                             You Reap What You Sow


                                      a
            Let your words be naturally short
            Strong wind does not last all morning
            Sudden rain does not last all day

                                           b
            What causes this? Heaven and Earth!
            If Heaven and Earth do not cause violent things to last,
            How much less should you?

                                         c
            Those who follow God are with God
            Those who follow the Spirit are with the Spirit
            Those who follow transgression are with transgression


            When you follow God, God is One with you
            When you follow the Spirit, the Spirit is One with you

            When you follow transgression, transgression is One with you

            For whatever your faith lacks, faith cannot provide
                                                    d
