1 Corinthians 3:8

Serving othersFellowship and the churchWork

6 I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.

7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.

He who plants and he who waters are one in purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor.

9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.

10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds.
