³⁸ but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.

¹¹ And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, `and' fruit-trees bearing fruit after their kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so.

¹² And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and God saw that it was good.

¹⁴ He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, And herb for the service of man; That he may bring forth food out of the earth,

¹¹ For as the earth bringeth forth its bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

²⁶ And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth;

²⁷ and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how.

²⁸ The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

²⁹ But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle, because the harvest is come.

⁷ So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
