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.

For (G)we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are (H)God’s building.

What, after all, is Apollos?(A) And what is Paul? Only servants,(B) through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed,(C) Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.(D) For we are co-workers in God’s service;(E) you are God’s field,(F) God’s building.(G)

But Peter explained it to them (A)in order from the beginning, saying: (B)“I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, an object descending like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came to me. When I observed it intently and considered, I saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. And I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat.’ But I said, ‘Not so, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has at any time entered my mouth.’ But the voice answered me again from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed you must not call common.’ 10 Now this was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven. 11 At that very moment, three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea. 12 Then (C)the Spirit told me to go with them, doubting nothing. Moreover (D)these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered the man’s house. 13 (E)And he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house, who said to him, ‘Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose surname is Peter, 14 who will tell you words by which you and all your household will be saved.’ 15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, (F)as upon us at the beginning. 16 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, (G)‘John indeed baptized with water, but (H)you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ 17 (I)If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, (J)who was I that I could withstand God?”

18 When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, (K)“Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.”

Starting from the beginning, Peter told them the whole story: “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision.(A) I saw something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to where I was. I looked into it and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles and birds. Then I heard a voice telling me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.’

“I replied, ‘Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’

“The voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’(B) 10 This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.

11 “Right then three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea(C) stopped at the house where I was staying. 12 The Spirit told(D) me to have no hesitation about going with them.(E) These six brothers(F) also went with me, and we entered the man’s house. 13 He told us how he had seen an angel(G) appear in his house and say, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. 14 He will bring you a message(H) through which you and all your household(I) will be saved.’

15 “As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on(J) them as he had come on us at the beginning.(K) 16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with[a] water,(L) but you will be baptized with[b] the Holy Spirit.’(M) 17 So if God gave them the same gift(N) he gave us(O) who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?”

18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.”(P)
