1 Corinthians 3:5-13

5What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? 1Servants through whom you believed, even 2as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. 63I planted, 4Apollos watered, but 5God was causing the growth. 7So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. 8Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will 6receive his own 7reward according to his own labor. 9For we are God’s 8fellow workers; you are God’s 910field, God’s 11building.

10According to 12the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder 13I laid a foundation, and 14another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. 11For no man can lay a 15foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, 16precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 1317each man’s work will become evident; for 18the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test 19the quality of each man’s work.
