English Standard Version

He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor.

1 Corinthians 3:8

Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay everyone for what he has done.

Revelation 22:12

1 Corinthians 3 (English Standard Version)

5 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each.
6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.
7 So neither 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 will receive his wages according to his labor.
9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.
10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it.
11 For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Revelation 22 (English Standard Version)

9 but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”
10 And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.
11 Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.”
12 “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay everyone for what he has done.
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates.
15 Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

The one planting and the one watering have the same goal, and both will be rewarded according to what they've done.

1 Corinthians 3:8

I am coming soon, and I am bringing my reward to give to everybody based on what they've done.

Revelation 22:12

1 Corinthians 3 (Free Bible Version)

5 Who is Apollos, anyway? And who is Paul? We're just servants through whom you believed. Each of us does the work God gave us to do.
6 I did the planting, Apollos did the watering—but it was God who made you grow!
7 So the one who does the planting doesn't count for anything, any more than the one who does the watering. The only one who matters is God who is growing you!
8 The one planting and the one watering have the same goal, and both will be rewarded according to what they've done.
9 We are workers together with God—and you are God's field, his building.
10 Through the grace of God that he gave to me, I laid down the foundation like a skilled building supervisor. Now someone else is building on it. Whoever does the building needs to watch what they're doing.
11 For no one can lay any other foundation than what's already laid—that is Jesus Christ.

9 He told me, “Don't do that! I am one of God's servants just as you are, together with your brothers the prophets, and those who obey the words of this book. Worship God!”
10 Then he told me, “Don't seal up the words of prophecy of this book and keep them secret, for the time is near.

12 I am coming soon, and I am bringing my reward to give to everybody based on what they've done.
13 I am the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
14 Blessed are those who wash their robes so that they have the right to the tree of life, and can enter into the city through the gates.
