3:9We are coworkers belonging to God.11 You are God’s field, God’s building.

Read in Logos
1 Corinthians 3:9: For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building.

Footnotes

  1. 11 Although 1 Cor 3:9 is frequently understood to mean, “we are coworkers with God,” such a view assumes that the genitive θεοῦ (theou) is associative because of its relationship to συνεργοί (sunergoi). However, not only is a genitive of association not required by the syntax (cf. ), but the context is decidedly against it: Paul and Apollos are insignificant compared to the God whom they serve (vv. 5–8).
