932、“播种与收割”表示将要重生的人，因而表示教会，无需从圣言证实这一点，因为把人比作和比喻为一块田，因而比作和比喻为“播种”或播种期，把主的圣言比作和比喻为“种子”，把它所实现的效果比作和比喻为“出产”或收割，是很常见的，谁都能从已经习以为常的说话形式中明白这一点。一般来说，此处论及所有人；事实上，每个人都永远不会缺乏来自主并播种在他里面的种子，无论他在不在教会之内，也就是说，无论他认不认识主的圣言。没有主播下的种子，没有人能行出一丝善事。
一切仁之良善，包括外邦人当中的，都是从主那里得来的种子。尽管外邦人所行的良善不像教会中的那样是信之良善，但它仍能发展为信之良善。事实上，在来世，那些如在世时所习惯的那样过着仁爱生活的外邦人，在接受天使教导后，都会信奉并接受真信的教义和仁之信，远比基督徒容易得多。对此，蒙主的神性怜悯，容后再述（1032-1033，2589-2605，2861:1，3263:2节）。然而，此处尤其论及将要重生的人，也就是说，像教会没有出现在地上的某个地方这种事不会发生了。这就是此处“尽地所有的日子，播种与收割”的含义。播种与收割，也就是教会，总会出现在地上的某个地方，这句话与前一节的内容有关，即：人将再也不能像上古教会的最后一代那样毁灭自己了。

[NCE]932. The symbolism of sowing and reaping as the regenerating person, and so the church, needs no confirmation from the Word because it occurs so many times. Not only is a field — and consequently the sowing of it — used as a metaphor and simile for a person, but seed is used in the same way for the Lord's Word, and the produce or harvest, for the effect it has. Everyone understands this meaning because its appearance in the Word has made it common in everyday speech.
The general subject here is humankind as a whole and the fact that the time will never come when there are no seeds being planted in us by the Lord, whether we are inside or outside the church, that is, whether we know the Lord's Word or not. Without seed planted by the Lord, no one can do a whit of good.
[2] Even among non-Christians, every charitable kindness is seed from the Lord. The good that non-Christians do is not a result of the true faith, as it can be among people inside the church, but it can become so. Non-Christians usually live a life of charity in the world, and when those who do so are instructed by angels in the other life, they embrace and welcome the teachings of true faith and the faith that comes of charity much more easily than Christians. More about this later [1032-1033, 2589-2605, 2861:1, 3263:2], with the Lord's divine mercy.
The specific subject here is the regenerating individual and the fact that the church will never cease to exist in at least one place on earth. That is what "throughout all the days of the earth there will be sowing and reaping" means.
The fact that there will always be sowing and reaping, or that the church will always exist, connects with the message of the last verse: that people could no longer destroy themselves in the way the final generation of the earliest church had done.
Potts(1905-1910) 932
932. That "seed-time and harvest" signify man who is to be regenerated, and thus the church, there is no need to confirm from the Word, because it occurs so often that man is compared and likened to a field, and thus to a sowing or seed-time, and the Word of the Lord to seed, and the effect to the produce or harvest, as everyone comprehends from the forms of speech thus made familiar. In general every man is here treated of-that there never will be lacking to him the sowing of seed from the Lord, whether he be within the church or without; that is, whether he be acquainted with the Word of the Lord, or be not acquainted with it. Without seed sown by the Lord, man can do nothing of good. All the good of charity, even with the Gentiles, is seed from the Lord; and although with these there is not the good of faith, as there may be within the church, yet there may come the good of faith; for in the other life those Gentiles who have lived in charity, as Gentiles are wont to do in this world, when instructed by angels, embrace and receive the doctrine of true faith and the faith of charity much more easily than do Christians; concerning which, of the Lord's Divine mercy hereafter. Specifically, however, the subject treated of here is the man who is to be regenerated, that is to say that there will be no such thing as a failure of the church to come forth somewhere on the earth, which is here signified by there being seed-time and harvest all the days of the earth. That seed-time and harvest, or the church, will always come into existence, has regard to what was said in the preceding verse, namely, that man will no more be able so to destroy himself as was done by the last posterity of the Most Ancient Church.
Elliott(1983-1999) 932
932. There is no need to confirm from the Word that 'seedtime and harvest' means the person who is to be regenerated, and consequently the Church, because the comparison and likening of the individual to a field and so to 'seedtime' and of the Lord's Word to 'seed', and of what it accomplishes to 'produce' or 'harvest', occurs so frequently. This anybody can also gather from these same expressions which are part of his everyday vocabulary. In general the reference is to all men, and the fact that not one ever fails to have seed from the Lord sown within him, no matter whether he is inside the Church or outside of it, that is, whether he knows the Lord's Word or whether he does not.
[2] Without this implanting of seed from the Lord nobody can do the least good thing. Every good that stems from charity, even among gentiles, is seed obtained from the Lord. Although with gentiles it is not the good of faith as it may be inside the Church, it can nevertheless develop into the good of faith. In fact gentiles who have led charitable lives, as they are accustomed to do in the world, on being instructed by angels in the next life embrace and accept teaching about true faith and embrace and accept faith that accompanies charity, far more easily than Christians. These matters will in the Lord's Divine mercy be dealt with later on. In particular however the subject here is the person who is to be regenerated, that is to say, the Church will not fail to emerge somewhere on earth. This is the meaning here of 'during all the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest'. The statement that seedtime and harvest, which are the Church, will always be emergent somewhere on earth has regard to the content of the previous verse, that is to say, man will no longer be able to destroy himself in the way that the final descendants of the Most Ancient Church did.
Latin(1748-1756) 932
932. Quod 'sementis et messis' significent hominem regenerandum et inde Ecclesiam, non opus est confirmare ex Verbo, qui toties occurrit tam quod homo comparetur et assimiletur agro, ita 'sementi,' quam quod Verbum Domini 'semini,' et ipse effectus 'proventui aut messi'; quod quisque ex familiari inde facto sermone etiam comprehendit. In genere hic agitur de omni homine, quod nusquam desiturum, quin ei inseminaretur semen a Domino, sive si intra Ecclesiam sive extra Ecclesiam, hoc est, sive noverit Verbum Domini sive non noverit; absque inseminato semine a Domino, homo ne hilum boni potest facere; omne bonum charitatis, etiam apud gentes, est semen a Domino, apud quas tametsi non est bonum fide sicut potest esse intra Ecclesiam, usque bonum fidei potest fieri gentes enim qui in charitate vixerunt sicut solent in mundo, etiam in altera vita, cum ab angelis instruuntur, facilius multo quam Christiani verae fidei doctrinam et fidem charitatis amplectuntur et accipiunt de quibus, ex Divina Domini Misericordia, in sequentibus. In specie autem hic agitur de homine regenerando, quod nempe non desiturum, quin Ecclesia alicubi in terra existat; quod hic significatur per quod 'omnibus diebus terrae sementis et messis.' Quod semper sementis et messis, seu Ecclesia, exstitura sit, spectat illa quae in versu praecedente, nempe quod homo non amplius se ita perdere poterit sicut posteritas ultima Antiquissimae Ecclesiae.
