You reap what you sow

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.

Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
