Now he that plants and he that waters are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.

And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure it:

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, since you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

That you submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that works with us, and labors.

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
