What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? (A)Servants through whom you believed, even (B)as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. (C)I planted, (D)Apollos watered, but (E)God was causing the growth. So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. Now the one who plants and the one who waters are one; but each will (F)receive his own [a]reward according to his own labor. For we are God’s (G)fellow workers; you are God’s [b](H)field, God’s (I)building.

10 According to (J)the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder (K)I laid a foundation, and (L)another is building on it. But each person must be careful how he builds on it. 11 For no one can lay a (M)foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, 13 (N)each one’s work will become evident; for (O)the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test [c]the quality of each one’s work. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it remains, he will (P)receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet only (Q)so as through fire.

Watering, Working, Warning

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but (A)ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? (B)I planted, (C)Apollos watered, (D)but God gave the increase. So then (E)neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, (F)and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

For (G)we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are (H)God’s building. 10 (I)According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid (J)the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than (K)that which is laid, (L)which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day (M)will declare it, because (N)it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.

10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

What then is Apollos? What is Paul? (A)Servants through whom you believed, (B)as the Lord assigned to each. (C)I planted, (D)Apollos watered, (E)but God gave the growth. So (F)neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. He who plants and he who waters are one, and each (G)will receive his wages according to his labor. For we are (H)God's fellow workers. You are God's field, (I)God's building.

10 (J)According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled[a] master builder I laid a (K)foundation, and (L)someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. 11 For no one can lay a (M)foundation other (N)than that which is laid, (O)which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13 (P)each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed (Q)by fire, and (R)the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, (S)he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, (T)but only as through fire.
