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

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

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked [He will not allow Himself to be ridiculed, nor treated with contempt nor allow His precepts to be scornfully set aside]; for whatever a man sows, this and this only is what he will reap.
AMPC
Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.] For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap.
BRG
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Make no mistake, God is not mocked. A person will harvest what they plant.

Don’t delude yourselves: no one makes a fool of God! A person reaps what he sows.

DRA
Be not deceived, God is not mocked.
ERV
If you think you can fool God, you are only fooling yourselves. You will harvest what you plant.
EASY
Nobody can hide the things that he does from God. Do not think a false thought like that! It is like a farmer who plants seeds in his field. The same kind of crops will grow as the seeds which he plants. That will be his harvest.
EHV
Do not be deceived. God is not mocked. To be sure, whatever a man sows, he will also reap.

Stop being deceived; God is not to be ridiculed. A person harvests whatever he plants:
PHILLIPS
Don’t be under any illusion: you cannot make a fool of God! A man’s harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sows. If he sows for his own lower nature his harvest will be the decay and death of his own nature. But if he sows for the Spirit he will reap the harvest of everlasting life by that Spirit. Let us not grow tired of doing good, for, unless we throw in our hand, the ultimate harvest is assured. Let us then do good to all men as opportunity offers, especially to those who belong to the Christian household.

Don’t be misled; remember that you can’t ignore God and get away with it: a man will always reap just the kind of crop he sows!
MSG
Don’t be misled: No one makes a fool of God. What a person plants, he will harvest. The person who plants selfishness, ignoring the needs of others—ignoring God!—harvests a crop of weeds. All he’ll have to show for his life is weeds! But the one who plants in response to God, letting God’s Spirit do the growth work in him, harvests a crop of real life, eternal life.
