可见，栽种的算不了什么，浇灌的也算不了什么；惟有上帝能使它生长。

所以，除了使之生长的神，那栽种的和那浇灌的都算不得什么。

是以樹者灌者無足數、惟長之之上帝而已、

樹與灌皆無益、必上帝長之焉、

如是、種者不足稱、灌者不足稱、全在長之之天主耳、

種植者與灌溉者均不足貴也；所可貴者惟賜其發榮滋長之天主耳。

So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.

So the one who plants is not important. The one who waters is not important. It is God who makes things grow. He is the important one.

So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.

So, then, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.

So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.

“ Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.

If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important.

Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness.

Each time he said,“ My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing.

See, they are all foolish, worthless things. All your idols are as empty as the wind.

All the people of the earth are nothing compared to him. He does as he pleases among the angels of heaven and among the people of the earth. No one can stop him or say to him,‘ What do you mean by doing these things?’

The nations of the world are worth nothing to him. In his eyes they count for less than nothing— mere emptiness and froth.
