哥林多前書 3
1 所以，弟兄們，我從前對你們說話，還不能把你們當作神的人，只能當作屬血肉的人，當作在基督內的嬰孩。
And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly — as to babes in Christ;
2 我給你們喝的是奶，並非飯食，那時你們不能吃．就是如今你們還不能，
with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for ye were not yet able, but not even yet are ye now able,
3 你們還是屬血肉的人。你們中既有嫉妒和紛爭，你們豈還不是屬血肉的人，按照俗人的樣子行事嗎？
for yet ye are fleshly, for where [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and in the manner of men do walk?
4 這人說：「我是屬保祿，」那人說：「我是屬阿頗羅，」這樣，你們豈不是成了俗人嗎？
for when one may say, 'I, indeed, am of Paul;' and another, 'I — of Apollos;' are ye not fleshly?
5 其實，阿頗羅算什麼？保祿算什麼？不過只是僕役，使你們獲得信仰，每人按照主所指派的而工作：
Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but ministrants through whom ye did believe, and to each as the Lord gave?
6 我栽種，阿頗羅澆灌，然而使之生長的，卻是天主。
I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;
7 可見栽種的不算什麼，澆灌的也不算什麼，只在那使之生長的天主。
so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth — God;
8 所以栽種的和澆灌的原是一事，不過各人將要按各人的勞苦領受自己的賞報。
and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each his own reward shall receive, according to his own labour,
9 我們原是天主的助手，你們是天主的莊田，是天主的建築物。
for of God we are fellow-workmen; God's tillage, God's building ye are.
10 按照天主所賜給我恩寵，我好像一個精明的建築師，奠立了根基，其他的人上面建築；但是各人應該注意怎麼在上面建築，
According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, a foundation I have laid, and another doth build on [it],
11 因為除已奠立了的根基，即耶穌基督外，任何人不能再建立別的根基。
for other foundation no one is able to lay except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ;
12 人可用金、銀、寶石、木、草、禾皆，在這根基上建築，
and if any one doth build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw —
13 各人的工程將來終必顯露出來，因為主的日子要把它揭露出來；原來主的日子在火中出現，這火要試驗各人的工程怎麼。
of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare [it], because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove;
14 在那根基上所建築的工程，若存得住，他必要獲得賞報；
if of any one the work doth remain that he built on [it], a wage he shall receive;
15 但誰的工程若被焚了，他就要受到損失，自己固然可得救，可是仍像火中經過一樣。
if of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; and himself shall be saved, but so as through fire.
16 你們知道，你們是天主的宮殿，天主聖神住你們內嗎？
have ye not known that ye are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God doth dwell in you?
17 誰若毀壞天主的宮殿，天主必要毀滅壞他，因為天主的宮殿是聖的，這宮殿就是你們。
if any one the sanctuary of God doth waste, him shall God waste; for the sanctuary of God is holy, the which ye are.
Let no one deceive himself; if any one doth seem to be wise among you in this age — let him become a fool, that he may become wise, (aiōn g165)
19 因為這世界的智慧在天主前原是愚昧。經上記載說：『祂以智者的計謀捕捉智者；』
for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it hath been written, 'Who is taking the wise in their craftiness;'
20 又說：『上主認透智者的思念，原來都是虛幻。
and again, 'The Lord doth know the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.'
21 所以，誰也不可拿人來誇口，因為一切都是你們的：
So then, let no one glory in men, for all things are yours,
22 無論是保祿，或是阿頗羅，或是刻法，或是世界，或是生命，或是死亡，或是現在，或是將來，一切都是的；
whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things about to be — all are yours,
23 你們卻是基督的，而基督是天主的。
and ye [are] Christ's, and Christ [is] God's.
