For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.

1 Corinthians 3:1-22

Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. 

You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings?

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

For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.

Their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.

Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?

All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.

Why?

Paul reminded us all of us are belong to the Lord, no one can say they made some effort and let people grow up, but only the Lord makes his children making it grow.

We are God's temple and God's Spirit dwells in our midst, how powerful and great for God's children

How?

Be humble and do what we can do and obey the teaching of the Lord through Jesus Christ, follow the steps of Jesus Christ. He is our example.
