“Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.”
The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor — despite the unified 'purpose' (hen, literally 'one'), there will be individual 'reward' (misthos) according to 'their own labor' (idios kopos). Rewards are proportional to faithfulness, not to fame or faction-size. Paul and Apollos stand equal before Christ's judgment seat, rewarded for fidelity, not for Corinthian popularity.
