Already the reaper receives wages and gathers fruit for eternal life
Ask what the reaper’s wage is, and what fruit is gathered for eternal life.
Greek
Ὁ θερίζων μισθὸν λαμβάνει καὶ συνάγει καρπὸν εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον, ἵνα ὁ σπείρων ὁμοῦ χαίρῃ καὶ ὁ θερίζων.
ζητητέον τίς ὁ μισθὸς τοῦ θερίζοντος καὶ τίς ὁ καρπὸς ὁ εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον συναγόμενος.
