1 Corinthians 3
1 Brothers, I could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.
And I, my brethren, could not speak to you, as to spiritual persons, but as to carnal ones, even as to babes in Christ.
2 I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you were not yet ready. Indeed, you are not ready even now,
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat; for ye were not hitherto able to bear it, nor yet are ye even now able.
3 for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, are not you fleshly, and do not you walk in the ways of men?
Because ye are still carnal: for while there is among you envy and strife and divisions, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk as men?
4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are not you fleshly?
For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not carnal?
5 Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whose means ye embraced the faith, even as the Lord gave success to each of them?
6 I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
I have planted, Apollos watered: but God gave the increase.
7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
So that neither he that planteth is any thing, nor he that watereth, but God that giveth the increase.
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
And he that planteth, and he that watereth, are as one: but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.
For we are fellow-laborers, the servants of God: and ye are the husbandry of God, ye are the building of God.
10 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.
According to the grace of God given to me, as a wise architect I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon: but let every one see to it how he buildeth thereon.
11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
For no one can lay any other foundation, but that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ: and if any build upon this foundation gold,
12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,
silver, precious stones, or wood, hay, stubble;
13 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.
every man's work shall be made manifest. For the great day will shew it; because it will be discovered by fire, and the fire will prove every man's work of what sort it is.
14 If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
If any man's work abide, which he hath built upon it, he shall receive a reward:
15 If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
but if any man's work be burnt, he will be damaged; though he himself shall be saved, but, as it were out of fire.
16 Do not you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?
Do ye not know that ye are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.
If any one destroy the temple of God, him will God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, and this temple are ye.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this age (aiōn g165), let him become a fool, that he may become wise.
Let no one deceive himself: if any among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be truly wise. (aiōn g165)
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, "He taketh the wise in their own craftiness:"
20 And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”
and again, "The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain."
21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,
Therefore let no one glory in men: for all things are yours;
22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or future, all are yours;
23 and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
