1 Corinthians 3:3-11

3because you’re still influenced by your corrupt nature. When you are jealous and quarrel among yourselves, aren’t you influenced by your corrupt nature and living by human standards?

4When some of you say, “I follow Paul” and others say, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you acting like ⌞sinful⌟ humans?

5Who is Apollos? Who is Paul? They are servants who helped you come to faith. Each did what the Lord gave him to do.

6I planted, and Apollos watered, but God made it grow.

7So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is important because ⌞only⌟ God makes it grow.

8The one who plants and the one who waters have the same goal, and each will receive a reward for his own work.

9We are God’s coworkers. You are God’s field. You are God’s building.

10As a skilled and experienced builder, I used the gift  that God gave me to lay the foundation ⌞for that building⌟. However, someone else is building on it. Each person must be careful how he builds on it.

11After all, no one can lay any other foundation than the one that is already laid, and that foundation is Jesus Christ.
