4. For if one says, "Certainly, I am of Paul," while another says, "I am of Apollo," are you not men? But what is Apollo, and what is Paul?
5. We are only the ministers of him in whom you have believed, just as the Lord has granted to each of you.
6. I planted, Apollo watered, but God provided the growth.
7. And so, neither he who plants, nor he who waters, is anything, but only God, who provides the growth.
8. Now he who plants, and he who waters, are one. But each shall receive his proper reward, according to his labors.
9. For we are God's assistants. You are God's cultivation; you are God's construction.
10. According to the grace of God, which has been given to me, I have laid the foundation like a wise architect. But another builds upon it. So then, let each one be careful how he builds upon it.
11. For no one is able to lay any other foundation, in place of that which has been laid, which is Christ Jesus.
12. But if anyone builds upon this foundation, whether gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or stubble,
13. each one's work shall be made manifest. For the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it will be revealed by fire. And this fire will test each one's work, as to what kind it is.
