Georgion (γεώργιον) means cultivated land, a field under agricultural cultivation, or a farm. It appears only once in the New Testament (1 Corinthians 3:9), where Paul uses it metaphorically: 'You are God's field [georgion], God's building.' The related noun georgos (farmer/vineyard worker) is more common.
Paul's agricultural metaphor in 1 Corinthians 3:6–9 is built on georgion. Paul planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth — because the church is ultimately God's field. This image challenges every form of ministerial pride: the farmer does not create life, he cultivates conditions. The growth is always divine. Jesus expands the agricultural imagery in John 15 (the vine and branches) and Matthew 13 (the Parable of the Sower). God is always the primary farmer; we are His co-workers in His field. The church belongs to Him, grows by His power, and will bear fruit for His glory.
