我栽种了，亚波罗浇灌了，惟有神叫他生长。

我栽种了，亚波罗浇灌了，惟有上帝使它生长。

我樹之、亞波羅灌之、惟上帝長之、

斯道也、我樹之、亞波羅灌之、上帝長之、

我種之、亞波羅灌之、惟天主長之、

我種植之、亞波羅從而灌溉之；而使其發榮滋長者、則天主也。

I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.

I planted the seed. Apollos watered it. But God has been making it grow.

I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.

I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow.

I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.

I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.

I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

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

I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.

A generous person will be enriched, and the one who gives a drink of water will receive water.

For we are God’s coworkers. You are God’s field, God’s building.According to God’s grace that was given to me, I have laid a foundation as a skilled master builder, and another builds on it. But each one is to be careful how he builds on it.

He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. After Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained the way of God to him more accurately.When he wanted to cross over to Achaia, the brothers and sisters wrote to the disciples to welcome him. After he arrived, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed.

For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we had not reached you, since we have come to you with the gospel of Christ.We are not boasting beyond measure about other people’s labors. On the contrary, we have the hope that as your faith increases, our area of ministry will be greatly enlarged,

He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and tried to persuade both Jews and Greeks.When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself to preaching the word and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Messiah.When they resisted and blasphemed, he shook out his clothes and told them,“ Your blood is on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”So he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, along with his whole household. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.The Lord said to Paul in a night vision,“ Don’t be afraid, but keep on speaking and don’t be silent.For I am with you, and no one will lay a hand on you to hurt you, because I have many people in this city.”He stayed there a year and a half, teaching the word of God among them.

It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us— our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption—

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?

While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul traveled through the interior regions and came to Ephesus. He found some disciples

I’m not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my dear children.For you may have countless instructors in Christ, but you don’t have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

A God-fearing woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, was listening. The Lord opened her heart to respond to what Paul was saying.

Now a Jew named Apollos, a native Alexandrian, an eloquent man who was competent in the use of the Scriptures, arrived in Ephesus.

You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone.You show that you are Christ’s letter, delivered by us, not written with ink but with the Spirit of the living God— not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.Such is the confidence we have through Christ before God.It is not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God.

Planted in the house of the LORD, they thrive in the courts of our God.They will still bear fruit in old age, healthy and green,to declare,“ The LORD is just; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.”

For I would not dare say anything except what Christ has accomplished through me by word and deed for the obedience of the Gentiles,

After greeting them, he reported in detail what God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.

God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: strength belongs to God,

Unless the LORD builds a house, its builders labor over it in vain; unless the LORD watches over a city, the watchman stays alert in vain.

Common people are only a vapor; important people, an illusion. Together on a scale, they weigh less than a vapor.

When they heard this they became silent. And they glorified God, saying,“ So then, God has given repentance resulting in life even to the Gentiles.”

After they arrived and gathered the church together, they reported everything God had done with them and that he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

because our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and with full assurance. You know how we lived among you for your benefit,

For as the earth produces its growth, and as a garden enables what is sown to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.

Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Or who shepherds a flock and does not drink the milk from the flock?Am I saying this from a human perspective? Doesn’t the law also say the same thing?For it is written in the law of Moses, Do not muzzle an ox while it treads out grain. Is God really concerned about oxen?Isn’t he really saying it for our sake? Yes, this is written for our sake, because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes should thresh in hope of sharing the crop.If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it too much if we reap material benefits from you?

Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel I preached to you, which you received, on which you have taken your standand by which you are being saved, if you hold to the message I preached to you— unless you believed in vain.For I passed on to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers and sisters at one time; most of them are still alive, but some have fallen asleep.Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.Last of all, as to one born at the wrong time, he also appeared to me.For I am the least of the apostles, not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.Whether, then, it is I or they, so we proclaim and so you have believed.

For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return there without saturating the earth and making it germinate and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat,so my word that comes from my mouth will not return to me empty, but it will accomplish what I please and will prosper in what I send it to do.”
