1 Corinthians 3:5-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 What is Apollos, after all, and what is Paul? Ministers[a] through whom you became believers, just as the Lord assigned each one. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused the growth.(A) 7 Therefore, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who causes the growth. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters are equal, and each will receive wages in proportion to his labor.
