4 One of you says, “I belong to Paul,” and another says, “I belong to Apollos.” When you say things like this, you are acting like people of the world.
5 Is Apollos important? No! Is Paul important? No! We are only servants of God who helped you believe. Each one of us did the work God gave us to do.
6 I planted the seed, and Apollos watered it. But God is the One who made it grow.
7 So the one who plants is not important, and the one who waters is not important. Only God, who makes things grow, is important.
8 The one who plants and the one who waters have the same purpose, and each will be rewarded for his own work.
9 We are God’s workers, working together; you are like God’s farm, God’s house.
10 Using the gift God gave me, I laid the foundation of that house like an expert builder. Others are building on that foundation, but all people should be careful how they build on it.
