For we are God’s fellow workers The phrase "God’s fellow workers" is derived from the Greek word "synergoi," which means co-laborers or collaborators. This term emphasizes the partnership between God and His servants in the work of the Gospel. Historically, this reflects the early Christian understanding that their mission was a divine collaboration, not merely human effort. The apostles, including Paul, saw themselves as instruments through which God worked to build His church. This partnership is inspirational, reminding believers that their labor in the Lord is not in vain, as they are part of a divine plan and purpose. you are God’s field God’s building Parallel Commentaries ...
