God’s Fellow Workers

(Hebrews 5:11–14)

Brothers, I vvv could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly — as infants in Christ. 2 vvv I gave you milk, not solid food, for vvv you were not yet ready [for solid food]. In fact, vvv vvv vvv you are still not ready, 3 for you are still worldly. For since [there is] jealousy and dissension and division[fn] among you, are you not worldly? [ Are you not ] walking in the way of man? 4 For when one [of you] says,“I [follow] Paul,” and another,“I [follow] Apollos,” are you not of the flesh?[fn]

5 

Who then is Paul? And who [is] Apollos?[fn] [They are] servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each [ his role ]. 6 I planted [the seed] [and] Apollos watered [it], but God made [ it ] grow. 7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but [only] God, who makes [things] grow. 8 He who plants and he who waters are one [ in purpose ],[fn] and each will be rewarded according to [his] own labor. 9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
