1 Corinthians 3:9
Print
For we are laborers together with God; ye are God’s husbandry; ye are God’s building.
For we are God’s fellow-workers: ye are God’s husbandry, God’s building.
For we are God’s fellow workers [His servants working together]; you are God’s cultivated field [His garden, His vineyard], God’s building.
For we are fellow workmen (joint promoters, laborers together) with and for God; you are God’s garden and vineyard and field under cultivation, [you are] God’s building.
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.
For we are God’s coworkers. You are God’s field, God’s building.
We are God’s coworkers, and you are God’s field, God’s building.
For we are God’s co-workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
Apollos and I work together for God, and you are God's garden and God's building.
For we are God's fellow-workmen; ye are God's husbandry, God's building.
For we are God’s fellow-workers; you are God’s farm, God’s building.
For we are God's coadjutors: you are God's husbandry; you are God's building.
We are workers together for God, and you are like a farm that belongs to God. And you are a house that belongs to God.
Apollos and I work together as God's servants. You are like God's field that we work in. You are also like a building that belongs to God.
For God is the one whom we serve as coworkers, and you are God’s field, God’s building.

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

Who do you think Paul is, anyway? Or Apollos, for that matter? Servants, both of us—servants who waited on you as you gradually learned to entrust your lives to our mutual Master. We each carried out our servant assignment. I planted the seed, Apollos watered the plants, but God made you grow. It’s not the one who plants or the one who waters who is at the center of this process but God, who makes things grow. Planting and watering are menial servant jobs at minimum wages. What makes them worth doing is the God we are serving. You happen to be God’s field in which we are working. Or, to put it another way, you are God’s house. Using the gift God gave me as a good architect, I designed blueprints; Apollos is putting up the walls. Let each carpenter who comes on the job take care to build on the foundation! Remember, there is only one foundation, the one already laid: Jesus Christ. Take particular care in picking out your building materials. Eventually there is going to be an inspection. If you use cheap or inferior materials, you’ll be found out. The inspection will be thorough and rigorous. You won’t get by with a thing. If your work passes inspection, fine; if it doesn’t, your part of the building will be torn out and started over. But you won’t be torn out; you’ll survive—but just barely.
For we are laborers together with God: You are God’s vineyard; you are God’s building.
