For we were the first to come to you with the gospel of Christ. 15 Neither do we go beyond our limits by boasting in the labors of others. But our hope is that as your faith continues to grow, our sphere of activity among you will greatly expand, 16 so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. For we do not want to boast in work already done in another person's area.

• 1 Cor 3:9-9 : 9 For we are God’s coworkers; you are God’s field, God’s building. 10 According to the grace God has given me, like a wise master builder, I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each one should be careful how they build. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, 13 each one’s work will become evident, for the Day will make it clear because it will be revealed by fire. The fire will test the quality of each one’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss, but they will still be saved, though only as one escaping through flames.
