And he that plants and he that waters are one; but each shall receive his own reward, according to his own labor.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, become steadfast, immovable, abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

and we toil, laboring with our own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;

that ye also submit yourselves to such, and to every one who is laboring with us and toiling.

But by God's grace I am what I am; and His grace which was bestowed upon me did not prove vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
