Jacob 5:17

And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard looked

and beheld the tree in the which the wild olive branches had been grafted;

and it had sprung forth and begun to bear fruit.

and the fruit thereof was like unto the natural fruit.

And it came to pass that they went forth

whither the master had hid the natural branches of the tree,

and he said unto the servant:

Behold these;

and he beheld the first that it had brought forth much fruit;

and he beheld also that it was good.

And he said unto the servant:

Take of the fruit thereof, and lay it up against the season,

that I may preserve it unto mine own self;

for behold, said he, this long time have I nourished it,

and it hath brought forth much fruit.

and it profiteth me nothing, notwithstanding all our labor;

and now it grieveth me that I should lose this tree.

and for mine own purpose I have preserved them;

and because of their much strength

they have hitherto brought forth, from the wild branches, good fruit.

And it came to pass that the servant said unto his master:

Is it not the loftiness of thy vineyard —

have not the branches thereof overcome the roots which are good?

behold they grew faster than the strength of the roots,

taking strength unto themselves.

Behold, I say,

is not this the cause

that the trees of thy vineyard have become corrupted?

Jacob 5:61

Wherefore, go to, and call servants,

that we may labor diligently with our might in the vineyard,

that we may prepare the way, that I may bring forth again the natural fruit,

which natural fruit is good and the most precious above all other fruit.

Jacob 5:65

And as they begin to grow

ye shall clear away the branches which bring forth bitter fruit,

according to the strength of the good and the size thereof;

and ye shall not clear away the bad thereof all at once,

lest the roots thereof should be too strong for the graft,

and the graft thereof shall perish, and I lose the trees of my vineyard.

Jacob 5:75

And it came to pass that when the Lord of the vineyard saw

that his fruit was good, and that his vineyard was no more corrupt,

he called up his servants, and said unto them:

Behold, for this last time have we nourished my vineyard;

and thou beholdest that I have done according to my will;

and I have preserved the natural fruit,

that it is good, even like as it was in the beginning.

And blessed art thou;

for because ye have been diligent in laboring with me in my vineyard,

and have kept my commandments,

and have brought unto me again the natural fruit,

that my vineyard is no more corrupted, and the bad is cast away,

behold ye shall have joy with me because of the fruit of my vineyard.

Jacob 5:77

And when the time cometh that evil fruit shall again come into my vineyard,

then will I cause the good and the bad to be gathered;

and the good will I preserve unto myself,

and the bad will I cast away into its own place.

And then cometh the season and the end;

and my vineyard will I cause to be burned with fire.
