1 Corinthians Study Notes—Chapter 3

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 3:8
  
  are one: Or “have one purpose.” Paul here describes the unity among Christian ministers as they work with one another and with God. (1Co 3:9) The Greek word here rendered “one” is in the neuter gender (denoting “one thing”), not in the masculine gender (denoting “one person”). So Paul is referring to being “one” in the sense of being united in action and cooperation.—See study notes on Joh 10:30; 17:11, 21, where the Greek word for “one” is used in a similar way.
