2 Corinthians 9:6 (NLT) — 6 Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds 

will get a small crop. 

But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.

2 Corinthians 9:6 (The Message) — 6 Remember: A stingy planter gets a stingy crop; 

a lavish planter gets a lavish crop.

Galatians 6:8 (NRSV) — 8b ... if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit.

Galatians 6:8 (The Message) — 8b ... the one who plants in response to God, 

letting God’s Spirit do the growth work in [her], 

harvests a crop of real life, eternal life.

Sow not only into your own life but also into the lives of others ...

the investment is blessed, invaluable and eternal!
