there will be a great harvest ·from your goodness [of your righteousness].

1 Corinthians 3:5-9 Expanded Bible (EXB)

5 ·Is Apollos important? No! [L What, then, is Apollos?] ·Is Paul important? No! [L And what is Paul?] We are only servants of God who helped

you believe. Each one of us did the work the Lord gave us to do. 6 I planted the seed, and Apollos watered it.

But God is the One who made it grow. 7 So the one who plants is not ·important [L anything], and the one who waters is not

·important [L anything], but only God, who makes things grow. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters

·have the same purpose [or are equal; L are one], and each will ·be rewarded [receive wages] for his own work. 9 We are ·God’s workers, working together [coworkers belonging to

God; coworkers in God’s service]; you are God’s ·farm [field], God’s building.

that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

seed into the ground;

spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the

sickle, because the harvest is come.
