Paul declares, "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." Paul was the first to preach the gospel at Corinth. He organized the church there. Apollos came after, winning his way to the hearts of the people, and instructing them. But God gave the increase. The success of both came from Him.

Paulus erklærer: ”Jeg har plantet, Apollos har vandet; men Gud gav væksten.” Paulus var den første der forkyndte evangeliet i Korint. Han dannede en menighed der. Apollos kom derefter, og vandt sin vej til folks hjerter, og underviste. Men Gud gav væksten. Begges succes kom fra Ham.
