1 Corinthians 3:6–8; Deuteronomy 20:6; Proverbs 27:18; Song of Solomon 8:12

6 kI planted, lApollos watered, mbut God gave the growth. 7 So nneither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8 He who plants and he who waters are one, and each owill receive his wages according to his labor.

6 And is there any man who has planted a vineyard and has not menjoyed its fruit? Let him go back to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man enjoy its fruit.

18  rWhoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit,

and he who sguards his master will be honored.

12  My vineyard, my very own, is before me;

you, O Solomon, may have the thousand,

and lthe keepers of the fruit two hundred.
