1 Corinthians 3:5
Print
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye came to believe, even as the Lord gave to every man?
What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom ye believed; and each as the Lord gave to him.
What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Just servants through whom you believed [in Christ], even as the Lord appointed to each his task.
What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Ministering servants [not heads of parties] through whom you believed, even as the Lord appointed to each his task:
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
What then is Apollos? What is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given.
After all, what is Apollos? What is Paul? They are servants who helped you to believe. Each one had a role given to them by the Lord:
After all, what is Apollos? What is Sha’ul? Only servants through whom you came to trust. Indeed, it was the Lord who brought you to trust through one of us or through another.
Apollos and I are merely servants who helped you to have faith. It was the Lord who made it all happen.
Who then is Apollos, and who Paul? Ministering servants, through whom ye have believed, and as the Lord has given to each.
Therefore, what is Apollos? And what is Paul?— servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to each one.
The ministers of him whom you have believed; and to every one as the Lord hath given.
Is Apollos so important? Is Paul so important? We are only servants of God who helped you believe. Each one of us did the work God gave us to do.
Is Apollos important? Is Paul important? No! We are God's servants. We told you God's good news and you believed it. Each of us is doing the job which the Lord has given to us.
What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are ministers through whom you believed, and each served as the Lord gave him his role.
What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each.
What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each.
·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.
Who is Paul then? and who is Apollos, but the ministers by whom ye believed, and as the Lord gave to every man?
Who is Apollos? Who is Paul? They are servants who helped you come to faith. Each did what the Lord gave him to do.
After all, who is Apollos? And who is Paul? We are simply God's servants, by whom you were led to believe. Each one of us does the work which the Lord gave him to do:
What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given.
Is Apollos important? No! Is Paul important? No! We are only servants of God who helped you believe. Each one of us did the work God gave us to do.
Who is Apollos, anyhow? Or who is Paul? They’re merely servants through whom you came to believe, as the Lord gave to each of us his task.
After all, who is Paul? Who is Apollos? No more than servants through whom you came to believe as the Lord gave each man his opportunity. I may have done the planting and Apollos the watering, but it was God who made the seed grow! The planter and the waterer are nothing compared with him who gives life to the seed. Planter and waterer are alike insignificant, though each shall be rewarded according to his particular work.
¶ Who then is Paul? and who is Apollos? but servants by whom ye believed, each one according to that which the Lord gave.
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to each one.
Therefore, what is Apollos and what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, and to each as the Lord gave.
Who am I, and who is Apollos, that we should be the cause of a quarrel? Why, we’re just God’s servants, each of us with certain special abilities, and with our help you believed.
Who do you think Paul is, anyway? Or Apollos, for that matter? Servants, both of us—servants who waited on you as you gradually learned to entrust your lives to our mutual Master. We each carried out our servant assignment. I planted the seed, Apollos watered the plants, but God made you grow. It’s not the one who plants or the one who waters who is at the center of this process but God, who makes things grow. Planting and watering are menial servant jobs at minimum wages. What makes them worth doing is the God we are serving. You happen to be God’s field in which we are working. Or, to put it another way, you are God’s house. Using the gift God gave me as a good architect, I designed blueprints; Apollos is putting up the walls. Let each carpenter who comes on the job take care to build on the foundation! Remember, there is only one foundation, the one already laid: Jesus Christ. Take particular care in picking out your building materials. Eventually there is going to be an inspection. If you use cheap or inferior materials, you’ll be found out. The inspection will be thorough and rigorous. You won’t get by with a thing. If your work passes inspection, fine; if it doesn’t, your part of the building will be torn out and started over. But you won’t be torn out; you’ll survive—but just barely.

So what d’you suppose Apollos actually is? What d’you think Paul is? I’ll tell you: servants, through whom you came to faith, each one as the Lord gave.
What then is Apollos? And what is Sha’ul? Klei kodesh ministers of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, through whom you came to emunah, even as to each one a task was given by Adoneinu.
Who is Paul then? And who is Apollos, but the ministers, by whom you believed, and as the Lord gave to every man?

After all, who is Apollos? And who is Paul? We both work for God. You believed because of the work we did. The Lord gave each of us our work to do.
