not even Paul the Apostle nor Apollos nor the other Apostles of Yeshua claimed credit for causing 'growth'.
they said that they were unworthy servants of Yeshua Messiah,
and they sowed, and they watered,
but it was Yhwh who gave the growth (the men of Yhwh could not predict nor fortell who would grow and who would not, if there would be any growth or even if there would be anyone saved in a city they went to preach the Word of Yhwh in. many individuals and many cities rejected them, having rejected Yeshua already, and thus too rejecting Yhwh the Creator. this happens here, and there, and everywhere unpredictably for us - when a person rejects Yhwh and His Salvation, they reject Yeshua, they also reject us.
