'Planting' in the Bible
In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were planting and building;
He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.
In this the saying is a true one, One does the planting, and another gets in the grain.
I sent you to get in grain which you had no hand in planting: other men did that work, and you take the reward.
I did the planting, Apollos did the watering, but God gave the increase.
For we are workers with God: you are God's planting, God's building.
If we have been planting the things of the Spirit for you, does it seem a great thing for you to give us a part in your things of this world?
