Meaning

The verse "But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully." encourages believers to consider the principle of sowing and reaping in their lives. It emphasizes the concept that the amount of effort and resources one puts into their actions will directly correlate to the results they experience. By sowing sparingly, one will receive a limited harvest, but by sowing bountifully, one will receive a plentiful harvest.
