This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
Ver. 6. Which soweth bountifully] Gr. "that soweth in blessings,"
åí åõëïãéáéò
; alluding to Eze_34:26; Ecc_11:1; "Cast thy bread upon the water," that is, upon fat and fertile places, loca irrigua. A metaphor from seedsmen, who eat not all, sell not all, but sow some; so should we sow that we have upon the backs and bellies of the poor; sow more of this seed in God’s blessed bosom, the fruit whereof we are sure to reap in our greatest need.
