1 Corinthians 3:7 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

So here's the thing — the person who plants the seed isn't the hero, and neither is the person who waters it. God is the one who actually makes things grow.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

You can plant and water all you want, but God's the one who makes the magic happen.
