Commentary
Commentary on 1 Corinthians 3:8
Theological / DevotionalAre one. He who plants and he who waters are not working at cross-purposes. They are united in their aims and objectives. It is ridiculous to set them up as rival leaders.
His own reward. Each one will receive compensation that is fitting for the service he has performed in the cause of God. All the redeemed receive the basic reward of eternal life, but beyond that the blessing bestowed on the redeemed in the kingdom of glory is related to the nature of their service in this life. That there are degrees of reward in the kingdom of glory for services rendered seems to be a reasonable deduction from the parable of the Pounds (Luke 19:16–26). As stewards of God’s goods, His children are expected to use their abilities faithfully in His service. Money expended in the work of God, and talents used to witness for Him, will result in the saving of men and women eternally.
