1 Corinthians 3: 5-6
What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through
whom you came to believe--as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted
the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.
Ephesians 3:17 so
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being
rooted and established in love,
Deuteronomy 13:4 You shall walk after the Lord your
God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall
serve him and hold fast to him.
Romans 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by
the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and
acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
1 Corinthians 3:5-9 The ministers about whom the Corinthians contended, were only instruments used by God. We should not put ministers into the place of God. He that planteth and he that watereth are one, employed by one Master, trusted with the same revelation, busied in one work, and engaged in one design. They have their different gifts from one and the same Spirit, for the very same purposes; and should carry on the same design heartily. Those who work hardest shall fare best. Those who are most faithful shall have the greatest reward. They work together with God, in promoting the purposes of his glory, and the salvation of precious souls; and He who knows their work, will take care they do not labor in vain. They are employed in his husbandry and building; and He will carefully look over them.
