Do not be deceived; God is not deceived: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap.

And upon those who follow this path be peace and mercy; and upon the Israel of God, be peace and mercy.

PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to those who are in Eph''e-sus, saints and believers in Jesus Christ:
