³⁶ He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.

¹³ You may be certain, my brothers, that it has frequently been in my mind to come to you (but till now I was kept from it), so that I might have some fruit from you in the same way as I have had it from the other nations.

¹⁹ My brothers, if one of you has gone out of the way of the true faith and another has made him see his error,

²⁰ Be certain that he through whom a sinner has been turned from the error of his way, keeps a soul from death and is the cause of forgiveness for sins without number.

⁷ I have made a good fight, I have come to the end of my journey, I have kept the faith:

⁸ From now on, the crown of righteousness is made ready for me, which the Lord, the upright judge, Will give to me at that day: and not only to me, but to all those who have had love for his revelation.

¹⁶ Give attention to yourself and your teaching. Go on in these things; for in doing so you will get salvation for yourself and for those who give hearing to you.

¹⁹ For what is our hope or joy or crown of glory? Are not even you, before our Lord Jesus, at his coming?

¹⁵ So that you may be holy and gentle, children of God without sin in a twisted and foolish generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

¹⁶ Offering the word of life; so that I may have glory in you in the day of Christ, because my running was not for nothing and my work was not without effect.

¹⁹ For though I was free from all men, I made myself a servant to all, so that more might have salvation.

²⁰ And to the Jews I was as a Jew, so that I might give the good news to them; to those under the law I was the same, not as being myself under the law, but so that I might give the good news to those under the law.

²¹ To those without the law I was as one without the law, not as being without law to God, but as under law to Christ, so that I might give the good news to those without the law.

²² To the feeble, I was as one who is feeble, so that they might have salvation: I have been all things to all men, so that some at least might have salvation.

²³ And I do all things for the cause of the good news, so that I may have a part in it.

⁵ What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? They are but servants who gave you the good news as God gave it to them.

⁶ I did the planting, Apollos did the watering, but God gave the increase.

⁷ So then the planter is nothing, and the waterer is nothing; but God who gives the increase.

⁸ Now the planter and the waterer are working for the same end: but they will have their separate rewards in the measure of their work.

⁹ For we are workers with God: you are God's planting, God's building.

²² But now, being free from sin, and having been made servants to God, you have your fruit in that which is holy, and the end is eternal life.

³ And those who are wise will be shining like the light of the outstretched sky; and those by whom numbers have been turned to righteousness will be like the stars for ever and ever.

³⁰ The fruit of righteousness is a tree of life, but violent behaviour takes away souls.
