1 Corinthians 3:5-9 GNB (5) After all, who is Apollos? And who is Paul? We are simply God's servants, by whom you were led to believe. Each one of us does the work which the Lord gave him to do: (6) I planted the seed, Apollos watered the plant, but it was God who made the plant grow. (7) The one who plants and the one who waters really do not matter. It is God who matters, because he makes the plant grow. (8) There is no difference between the one who plants and the one who waters; God will reward each one according to the work each has done. (9) For we are partners working together for God, and you are God's field. You are also God's building.
1 Corinthians 3:5-9 GW Who is Apollos? Who is Paul? They are servants who helped you come to faith. Each did what the Lord gave him to do. (6) I planted, and Apollos watered, but God made it grow. (7) So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is important because only God makes it grow. (8) The one who plants and the one who waters have the same goal, and each will receive a reward for his own work. (9) We are God's coworkers. You are God's field. You are God's building.
1 Corinthians 3:5-9 ESV (5) What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. (6) I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. (7) So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. (8) He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. (9) For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.
1 Corinthians 3:5-9 KJV (5) Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? (6) I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. (7) So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. (8) Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. (9) For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
1 Corinthians 3:5-9 NWT 5 What, then, is A·pol´los? Yes, what is Paul? Ministers through whom YOU became believers, even as the Lord granted each one. 6 I planted, A·pol´los watered, but God kept making [it] grow; 7 so that neither is he that plants anything nor is he that waters, but God who makes [it] grow. 8 Now he that plants and he that waters are one, but each [person] will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God’s fellow workers. YOU people are God’s field under cultivation, God’s building.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
