Eating The Fruit Of Labours

Τοὺς πόνους τῶν καρπῶν σου φάγεσαι. Ψαλμικόν ἐστι μελῴδημα, παντὶ βίῳ χρήσιμον. Καὶ οἱ σεμνότητος φροντίζοντες, φησὶ, φάγεσθε τοὺς καρποὺς αὐτῆς, στεφάνοις παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀκηράτοις τιμώμενοι· καὶ οἱ ἀκόλαστοι δηλονότι καὶ ἄδικοι, τὰ ἐπέχειρα τῶν κακῶν πράξεων κομιούμενοι. Ἅγιος Ἰσίδωρος Του Πηλουσιώτου, Βιβλίον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολὴ ΥΙΔ´ Παλλαδιῳ Διακονῳ Source: Migne PG 78.412d

'You shall eat the fruit of your labours.' 1 Here is a Psalm attuned for the good of every sort of life. It is as if he had said, 'You who have care for a holy and upright life, you shall eat the fruit of that, honoured by God with immortal crowns. But you who are intemperate and unrighteous, you shall receive punishment for your evil deeds.' Saint Isidore of Pelusium, Book 1, Letter 414, To Palladius the Deacon 1 Ps 127.2
