1 Corinthians 3:5-7

3:5 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. ¹  3:6 I planted, ²  Apollos watered, but God caused it to grow. 3:7 So neither the one who plants counts for anything, ³  nor the one who waters, but God who causes the growth.

[3:5]  ¹ tn Grk “and to each as the Lord gave.”

[3:6]  ² sn The expression I planted is generally taken to mean that Paul founded the church at Corinth. Later Apollos had a significant ministry there (watered). See also v. 10.

[3:7]  ³ tn Grk “is anything.”
