New English Translation

1 Corinthians 3:4-11 New English Translation (NET)

4. For whenever someone says, “I am with Paul,” or “I am with Apollos,” are you not merely human?

5. 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.

6. I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused it to grow.

7. So neither the one who plants counts for anything, nor the one who waters, but God who causes the growth.

8. The one who plants and the one who waters work as one, but each will receive his reward according to his work.

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

10. According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master-builder I laid a foundation, but someone else builds on it. And each one must be careful how he builds.

11. For no one can lay any foundation other than what is being laid, which is Jesus Christ.
