Don't be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows he will also reap, because the one who sows to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.

Remember this: The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously. Verse ConceptsAgriculture, Qualities NeededCollectionsHeavenly RewardsReward, DivineSeedThriftCultivationReapingStingy PeopleReaping What You Sowsoaringsowing

In the morning sow your seed,
and at evening do not let your hand rest,

or if both of them will be equally good.

Foolish one! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. And as for what you sow-you are not sowing the future body, but only a seed, perhaps of wheat or another grain. But God gives it a body as He wants, and to each of the seeds its own body.

Though I sow them among the nations,
they will remember Me in the distant lands;
they and their children will live and return.
