Galatians 6:8 has been improperly translated to mean "he that sows to his flesh will reap corruption but he who sows to the spirit will reap of the spirit everlasting life".
But what it says is;
He that sows to the flesh of it (man is flesh) out from the flesh decay will be reaped.* Because the world is passing away 1 John 2:17
It does not mean sin which it has become to mean. It means life for flesh which is opposed to life for spirit. In other words a good man can be sowing with a view to the flesh without sinning any other way. Sowing with a view to the flesh is sinning. How so? It involves judging. Matthew 7:1
The unforeseen occurrence spoken of at Ecclesiastes 9:11 might mean that it has become true that a bad man is sowing with a view to the spirit.
*It seems to need an illustration.
Here is one.
Something might need to be said but the one to say it will be afraid of offending the hearer so does not say it. That is an example of sowing with a view to the flesh. The scripture has been translated to mean ones own flesh. But it means the flesh. I shall beat the air now. It is related to where there is a physical body there is a spiritual body. The world all together is a body. So it has a spirit. The spirit of the air. Then sowing with a view to the flesh causes the air to be full of lies and fear. Lies and fear cause death.
