For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. {grapes: Gr. a grape}

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for {your} food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)

And God saw the light, that {it was} good: and God divided the light from the darkness. {the light from...: Heb. between the light and between the darkness}

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. {may: Gr. shall}
