1 Corinthians.

Chapter 3.
|
||
Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.
|
||
I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, you aren’t ready even now,
|
||
for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?
|
||
For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?
|
||
Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?
|
||
I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
|
||
So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
|
||
Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
|
||
For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.
|
||
According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.
|
||
For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
|
||
But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,
|
||
each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.
|
||
If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
|
||
If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
|
||
Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?
|
||
If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.
|
||
Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool that he may become wise.
|
||
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”
|
||
And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”
|
||
Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,
|
||
whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
|
||
and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
