³⁶ Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that ^(A)sower and ^(B)reaper ^(C)may rejoice together.

¹⁹ My brothers, ^(A)if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone ^(B)brings him back, ²⁰ let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering ^(C)will save his soul from death and ^(D)will cover a multitude of sins.

¹³ I do not want you to be unaware, brothers,^[a] that ^(A)I have often intended to come to you (but ^(B)thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some ^(C)harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles.

^7 (A)I have fought the good fight, ^(B)I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. ⁸ Henceforth there is ^(C)laid up for me ^(D)the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, ^(E)the righteous judge, will award to me on ^(F)that day, and not only to me but also to all ^(G)who have loved his appearing.

¹⁵ that you may be blameless and innocent, ^(A)children of God ^(B)without blemish ^(C)in the midst of ^(D)a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine ^(E)as lights in the world, ¹⁶ holding fast to ^(F)the word of life, so that in ^(G)the day of Christ ^(H)I may be proud that ^(I)I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

¹⁹ For ^(A)though I am free from all, ^(B)I have made myself a servant to all, that I might ^(C)win more of them. ^20 (D)To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. ²¹ To ^(E)those outside the law I became ^(F)as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but ^(G)under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. ^22 (H)To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. ^(I)I have become all things to all people, that ^(J)by all means I might save some. ²³ I do it all for the sake of the gospel, ^(K)that I may share with them in its blessings.

⁵ What then is Apollos? What is Paul? ^(A)Servants through whom you believed, ^(B)as the Lord assigned to each. ^6 (C)I planted, ^(D)Apollos watered, ^(E)but God gave the growth. ⁷ So ^(F)neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. ⁸ He who plants and he who waters are one, and each ^(G)will receive his wages according to his labor. ⁹ For we are ^(H)God's fellow workers. You are God's field, ^(I)God's building.

²² But now that you ^(A)have been set free from sin and ^(B)have become slaves of God, ^(C)the fruit you get leads to sanctification and ^(D)its end, eternal life.

^3 (A)And those who are wise ^(B)shall shine like the brightness of the sky above;^[a] and ^(C)those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.
