1 Corinthians 3:7
1 Corinthians 3:5-9 The Message (MSG)
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.
1 Corinthians 3:7 King James Version (KJV)
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:7 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.
1 Corinthians 3:7 New Century Version (NCV)
So the one who plants is not important, and the one who waters is not important. Only God, who makes things grow, is important.
1 Corinthians 3:7 American Standard Version (ASV)
So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:7 New International Version (NIV)
So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
1 Corinthians 3:7 New King James Version (NKJV)
So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:7 Amplified Bible (AMP)
So neither is the one who plants nor the one who waters anything, but [only] God who causes the growth.
1 Corinthians 3:7 New Living Translation (NLT)
It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow.
