After all, what is Apollos? And what is Paul? We are only people who serve. We helped you to believe. The Lord has given each of us our own work to do.

亚波罗算什么？保罗算什么？无非是执事，照主所赐给他们各人的，引导你们相信。

What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe— as the Lord has assigned to each his task.

What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each.

After all, who is Apollos? Who is Paul? We are only God’s servants through whom you believed the Good News. Each of us did the work the Lord gave us.

What then is Apollos? What is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given.

What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one.

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?

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? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given.

Who then is Paul, and who[ is] Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

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.

Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?

Instead, we make it clear that we serve God in every way. We serve him by standing firm in troubles, hard times and suffering.

God’s gifts of grace come in many forms. Each of you has received a gift in order to serve others. You should use it faithfully.

He has given us the power to serve under a new covenant. The covenant is not based on the written Law of Moses. It comes from the Holy Spirit. The written Law kills, but the Spirit gives life.

God has given me the grace to lay a foundation as a wise builder. Now someone else is building on it. But each one should build carefully.

Are they serving Christ? I am serving him even more. I’m out of my mind to talk like this! I have worked much harder. I have been in prison more often. I have suffered terrible beatings. Again and again I almost died.

The message we preach is not about ourselves. Our message is about Jesus Christ. We say that he is Lord. And we say that we serve you because of Jesus.

I serve the church. God appointed me to bring the complete word of God to you.

If I preach because I want to, I get a reward. If I preach because I have to, I’m only doing my duty.

So here is how you should think of us. We serve Christ. We are trusted with the mysteries God has shown us.Those who have been given a trust must prove that they are faithful.

He gave five bags of gold to one. He gave two bags to another. And he gave one bag to the third. The man gave each slave the amount of money he knew the slave could take care of. Then he went on his journey.

First, God has placed apostles in the church. Second, he has placed prophets in the church. Third, he has placed teachers in the church. Then he has given to the church miracles and gifts of healing. He also has given the gift of helping others and the gift of guiding the church. God also has given the gift of speaking in different kinds of languages.

So the one who plants is not important. The one who waters is not important. It is God who makes things grow. He is the important one.

How can they call on him unless they believe in him? How can they believe in him unless they hear about him? How can they hear about him unless someone preaches to them?And how can anyone preach without being sent? It is written,“ How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”( Isaiah 52:7)

You make it clear that you are a letter from Christ. You are the result of our work for God. You are a letter written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God. You are a letter written not on tablets made out of stone but on human hearts.

Treasure is kept in clay jars. In the same way, we have the treasure of the good news in these earthly bodies of ours. That shows that the mighty power of the good news comes from God. It doesn’t come from us.

I now serve the good news because God gave me his grace. His power is at work in me.

Reports of these things were handed down to us. There were people who saw these things for themselves from the beginning. They saw them and then passed the word on.

There are different kinds of gifts. But they are all given to believers by the same Spirit.There are different ways to serve. But they all come from the same Lord.There are different ways the Spirit works. But the same God is working in all these ways and in all people.The Holy Spirit is given to each of us in a special way. That is for the good of all.To some people the Spirit gives a message of wisdom. To others the same Spirit gives a message of knowledge.To others the same Spirit gives faith. To others that one Spirit gives gifts of healing.To others he gives the power to do miracles. To others he gives the ability to prophesy. To others he gives the ability to tell the spirits apart. To others he gives the ability to speak in different kinds of languages they had not known before. And to still others he gives the ability to explain what was said in those languages.All the gifts are produced by one and the same Spirit. He gives gifts to each person, just as he decides.

God’s grace has been given to me. So here is what I say to every one of you. Don’t think of yourself more highly than you should. Be reasonable when you think about yourself. Keep in mind the faith God has given to each of you.Each of us has one body with many parts. And the parts do not all have the same purpose.So also we are many persons. But in Christ we are one body. And each part of the body belongs to all the other parts.We all have gifts. They differ according to the grace God has given to each of us. Do you have the gift of prophecy? Then use it according to the faith you have.

We work together with God. So we are asking you not to receive God’s grace and then do nothing with it.

John replied,“ A person can receive only what God gives them from heaven.
