Paul begins this chapter with a metaphor of the Corinthians believers as infants who are unable to consume solid food. He describes the work of the gospel with the metaphor of sowing, watering, and growing seeds. Then in verse 10, Paul switches from the agricultural metaphor to an architectural metaphor – referring to the believers as a building, gospel workers as builders, and the Lord himself building up the Church – to present four vitally important truths about the spiritual building process.
