5 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. 6 I planted the seed,(C) 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. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.(D) 9 For we are co-workers in God’s service;(E) you are God’s field,(F) God’s building.(G)

It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.(M) 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.(N) 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.(O)

Before I was born(C) the Lord called(D) me;
