But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. |
But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. |
Now this I say, he who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully. |
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. |
[Remember] this: he who sows sparingly and grudgingly will also reap sparingly and grudgingly, and he who sows generously [that blessings may come to someone] will also reap generously and with blessings. |
But [although I am not pressing you to give] this [is true] – he who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly, and he who sows in a beneficient, generous spirit, with a view to the blessing of the recipient, shall also reap blessings given in a beneficient, generous manner. |
All I will say is that poor sowing means a poor harvest, and generous sowing means a generous harvest. |
Now this is the way it is: Whoever sows sparingly will reap sparingly too, but whoever sows bountifully will reap bountifully too. |
