So the one who plants is not important, and the one who waters is not important. Only God is important, because he is the one who makes things grow.
1 Corinthians 3:7 ERV

A part of a broader passage in which Paul addresses divisions among the early Christians in Corinth. Some were aligning themselves with different leaders. These leaders included Paul, Apollos, and Peter. Paul wanted to emphasize that these human leaders were merely servants through whom they came to believe. This verse highlights that individuals can plant and nurture faith. Yet, God is the one who causes spiritual growth and transformation. The passage emphasizes the importance of crediting God. It focuses on acknowledging His role in our spiritual success and progress, rather than concentrating solely on human efforts. God is the plant Dr. that gives wisdom, guides and provides.
