“Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?”
What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe — as the Lord has assigned to each his task — Paul and Apollos are redefined: not founders to boast in, but 'servants' (diakonoi, ministers). Each was assigned a 'task' (ergon) by the Lord (not by Corinthian choosing). Apollos watered (presumably after Paul's initial planting); each is a tool in God's hand, not a lord to be crowned.
