You Sew What You Rip

When the Apostle Paul visited Corinth, he stayed with Aquila and Priscilla, who were tent-makers.  Being from Tarsus, Paul was familiar with tent-making, and he offered to help the couple.

When he began working with the needle and thread, the  fabric began to tear. He tried sewing the rip, only to have it tear more.  And the more it tore, the more Paul grumbled and muttered under his breath.

This went on for a while, and eventually, Aquila and Priscilla asked Paul why he was having so much trouble.

Paul put down the now-shredded fabric, the needle and thread.  Shaking his head, the Apostle said, "I should have known this would happen."

"Oh, come now, Paul." said Priscilla.  "How could you possibly have known the fabric would tear?"

"Because," Paul answered, "In the book of Galatians, Chapter 6, Verse 7, it says, 'For Whatever a Man is Sewing, This He Will Also Rip.'"



[Note;  Actually, Galations 6:7 reads, "For whatever a man is SOWING, this he will also REAP;"]
