Whatsoever a man sows, so shall he reap人種的什麼,收的也是什麼(加拉太6:7

圖片說明: Sowing
圖片版權: V.

聖經經文

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” “不要自欺,神是輕慢不得的。人種的是什麼,收的也是什麼。”(加拉太6:7)

意思

來源及應用

使徒保羅在他這封寫給加拉太教會(在今希臘)信中提醒那里的人要活出基督的真道,因為在末日審判時要根據他們過去的所為。 諺語““you reap what you sow”也由此而來.(種什么收什么)。種好的收好的,播惡種的收惡果。在漢語中也有類似的諺語,如“種瓜得瓜,種豆得豆。”無論你過去行好的還是壞的,將來都要償還。
