1 Corinthians 3:9

Divisiveness And Immaturity

⁸ Now the planter and the waterer are working for the same end: but they will have their separate rewards in the measure of their work. ⁹ For we are workers with God: you are God's planting, God's building. ¹⁰ In the measure of the grace given to me, I, as a wise master-builder, have put the base in position, and another goes on building on it. But let every man take care what he puts on it.
