“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. — Paul invokes the immutable law of harvest ('aparche' implies first-fruits, but the saying is about sowing): 'speirō' (sow) and 'therizo' (reap) establish a moral-spiritual causality; God is not 'mukterizo' (mocked, scorned), i.e., his moral governance cannot be evaded by sham or self-deception.
