Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
6:7 you cannot mock the justice of God: God cannot be fooled by spiritual pretenses. All people will harvest the consequences of their actions (what you plant; see also Job 4:8; Ps 126:5; Prov 22:8; Hos 8:7; 10:12-15; Luke 19:21-23; 1 Cor 3:12-15; 9:11; 2 Cor 9:6).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
μὴ πλανᾶσθε, Θεὸς οὐ μυκτηρίζεται
not /be_being/_misled God not /is_being/_snubbed
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Do not deceive yourselves. No one can mock God”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γὰρ
for
Here, for indicates that what follows is a reason why God is not mocked. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: “due to the fact that”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ἄνθρωπος, τοῦτο καὶ θερίσει
/a/_person this also ˱he˲_/will_be/_reaping
Although man and he are masculine, Paul is using the words here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: “a person … that thing the person will also reap”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὃ & ἐὰν σπείρῃ ἄνθρωπος, τοῦτο καὶ θερίσει
whatever_‹thing› & ¬if /may_be/_sowing /a/_person this also ˱he˲_/will_be/_reaping
Here, sow refers to doing things that will have consequences, and reap represents experiencing those consequences. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “just as a farmer gathers in the fruit of the plants he grew from seed, so everyone experiences the results of whatever they do” or “everyone receives the results of whatever they have done”
