²¹ So then, no more boasting about human leaders!^(A) All things are yours,^(B)

³² He who did not spare his own Son,^(A) but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

⁶ Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.”^(A) Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other.^(B)

²⁸ And we know that in all things God works for the good^(A) of those who love him, who^[a] have been called^(B) according to his purpose.^(C)

⁷ Those who are victorious^(A) will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.^(B)

²³ This is what the Lord says:

¹⁵ All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving^(A) to overflow to the glory of God.

⁵ For what we preach is not ourselves,^(A) but Jesus Christ as Lord,^(B) and ourselves as your servants^(C) for Jesus’ sake.

⁴ For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,”^(A) are you not mere human beings?

⁵ What, after all, is Apollos?^(B) And what is Paul? Only servants,^(C) through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. ⁶ I planted the seed,^(D) Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. ⁷ So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
