Scholars emphasize that Paul sees his ministry not as a solo effort but as a partnership with God Himself. The phrase "workers together with him" signifies the profound honor and responsibility of participating in God's work of reconciliation. This elevates the task of sharing the gospel from a mere duty to a divine collaboration.
