Galatians 6:7

Carry One Another’s Burdens

6Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word must share in all good things with his instructor.7Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return.8The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Plain English Version
Listen, you’ve got to understand this properly. Nobody can ever trick God, so don’t ever think you can do that. I’ll tell you a picture story about seeds. A gardener plants different sorts of seeds in his garden, then later he gets the food from the plants that grow from those seeds. Whatever sort of seed he plants, that’s the sort of food he gets.
