7 What matters isn't those who planted or watered, but God who made the plants grow.
8 The one who plants is just as important as the one who waters. And each one will be paid for what they do.
9 Apollos and I work together for God, and you are God's garden and God's building.
10 God was kind and let me become an expert builder. I laid a foundation on which others have built. But we must each be careful how we build,
11 because Christ is the only foundation.
12-13 Whatever we build on that foundation will be tested by fire on the day of judgment. Then everyone will find out if we have used gold, silver, and precious stones, or wood, hay, and straw.
14 We will be rewarded if our building is left standing.
