There Are Many Workers, The Building Is One

Hi! and happy good mid-week to all of us, GUYS.  Our "food for the soul" this Wednesday:

THE GOOD NEWS (31 August 2016)

"I could not, friends, speak to you as spiritual persons but as fleshly people, for you are still infants in CHRIST.  I gave you milk and not solid food, for you were not ready for it and up to now you cannot receive it for you are still of the flesh.  As long as there is jealousy and strife, what can I say but that you are at the level of the flesh and behave like ordinary people.

While one says: 'I follow Paul,' and the other: 'I follow Apollos,' what are you but people still at a human level?

Church People Working Together

For what is Apollos?  What is Paul?  They are ministers and through them you believed, as it was given by the LORD to each of them.  I planted, Apollos watered the plant, but GOD made it grow.  So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but GOD who makes the plant grow.

The one who plants and the one who waters work to the same end, and the LORD will pay each according to their work.  We are fellow-workers with GOD, but you are GOD's field and building." - 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 

(Paul is founder of churches and others come after him, apostles, prophets or teachers, to preach and encourage the people.  Paul is not jealous, but it could be that some of them seek their own prestige, forgetting that the Church belongs only to GOD.  It could also be that the believers compare one apostle with another, and do this readily inasmuch as they are ignorant of what apostolic work really is.)
