1 Corinthians 3:8

There is no difference. That is, in rank or importance. The work of each is equally important, and both are God's servants. Neither one deserves any special honor. God will reward each one. Paul contrasts individual and community relationships. He forbids the man to either defy the community or to merge himself into it (and lose his individuality). Compare 1 Corinthians 12:5-11; 1 Corinthians 15:10-11; Galatians 6:2-5; Romans 14:7-10. According to the work. We are saved to do good works. Compare Matthew 25:14-30; Luke 19:11-28.
