“As you have sown so shall you reap.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero
“If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? / If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.”
“Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.”
“The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.”
“They have been a real boon. The benefit has not yet been reaped but the seeds have been sown.”
