1 Corinthians 3: Sinergoi/co-laborers of God.

No all Christians churches are healthy, some are very toxic. Toxic churches are commonly centered in one or more charismatic figures. The church of Corinth were divided, some were more in favor of Paul - the missionary that led many to Christ - and Apollos, the pastor who was with them after Paul left the church. As Paul was the missionary, he could have said: "You are my sons and daughters, never forget this!". However, he said:

9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.

He said that he and Apollos was God's fellow workers. They were instruments of the Lord to create the field/church. We all must look to ourselves as sinergoi, co-laborers of God. We work together with God. Sometimes we see ourselves working to God, but instead we must work together with God with a purpose. In this case, working to create a temple built by the believers of Corinth. Would Paul think of himself as the founder of the church that should be respected more than others, he would be working to his own ego.
