"He that planteth and he that watereth are one," engaged in the same work,--the salvation of souls. "We are laborers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building." In these words the church is compared to a cultivated field, in which the husbandmen are to labor, caring for the vines of the Lord's planting; and to a building, which is to become a holy temple for the Lord. Christ is the Master Workman. All are to work under His supervision, letting Him work for and through His workmen. He gives them tact and skill, and if they heed His instructions, crowns their labor with success. None are to complain against God, who has appointed to each man his work. He who murmurs and frets, who wants his own way, who desires to mold his fellow laborers to suit his own ideas, needs the divine touch before he is qualified to labor in any line. Unless he is changed, he will surely mar the work.

"Den, der planter, og den, der vander, er ét," engageret i det samme arbejde - sjælvinding. "Thi Guds medarbejdere er vi; Guds ager, Guds bygning er I." Med disse ord sammenlignes menigheden med en dyrket mark, hvori husbonden skal arbejde, sørge for vinene fra Herrens udplantning; og for en bygning, som skal blive et helligt tempel for Herren. Kristus er Første Arbejdsmanden. Han giver dem taktfølelse og dygtighed, og hvis de giver agt på Hans belæring, kroner han deres arbejde med succes. Ingen skal beklage sig imod Gud, som har udpeget enhver mand sit arbejde.han som knurrer og ærgerer sig, som ønsker sin egen vej, som ønsker at forme sin kollegaer skal tilpasse sig hans egne ideer, behøver den guddommelige berøring, før han er kvalificeret til at arbejde i en bestemt linje. Hvis han ikke forandres, vil han med sikkerhed ødelægge arbejdet.
