Note 10 at 1Co 3:9: Paul was acutely aware that it was God working through him. This is a vital lesson that every true minister of the Gospel must learn. It is true that we can do nothing without Christ (Joh 15:5), but the Lord will not do anything without us (Eph 3:20, see note 34 at Ro 8:17). We are laborers together with God.
