What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task.

For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.

What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each.

For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building.

After all, who is Apollos? Who is Paul? We are only God’s servants through whom you believed the Good News. Each of us did the work the Lord gave us.

For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building.

What then is Apollos? What is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given.

For we are God’s coworkers.  You are God’s field, God’s building.

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?

For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.

Who do you think Paul is, anyway? Or Apollos, for that matter? Servants, both of us—servants who waited on you as you gradually learned to entrust your lives to our mutual Master. We each carried out our servant assignment. I planted the seed, Apollos watered the plants, but God made you grow. It’s not the one who plants or the one who waters who is at the center of this process but God, who makes things grow. Planting and watering are menial servant jobs at minimum wages. What makes them worth doing is the God we are serving. You happen to be God’s field in which we are working.

What is Apollos, really? Or what is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, and each of us in the ministry the Lord gave us.

We are coworkers belonging to God. You are God’s field, God’s building.
