Various text are found in the MSS. But if "fellow-worker" (synergon) be read, as in the margin, "fellow-worker with God" will not do. They were fellow-labourers doing God’s work; but to say "fellow-workers with God" is false and presumptuous, and so of course is "with him." God employs labourers as work-fellows; but He is no work-fellow of theirs. It is irreverent. In the text which reads "minister" the MS. omits "of God", and thus the difficulty is avoided. "Under God" may be a paraphrase, but seems in our tongue necessary.
