1 Corinthians 3

1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ.

And I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual, but as fleshly, as infants in Christ.

2 I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able [to bear it]: nay, not even now are ye able;

I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you weren't yet ready. And even now you are still not ready,

3 for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk after the manner of men?

for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and living by human standards?

4 For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not men?

For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not merely human?

5 What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom ye believed; and each as the Lord gave to him.

What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him.

6 I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

I planted. Apollos watered. But God made it grow.

7 So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who makes it grow.

8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.

Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

9 For we are God’s fellow-workers: ye are God’s husbandry, God’s building.

For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.

10 According to the grace of God which was given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder I laid a foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let each man take heed how he buildeth thereon.

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 one be careful how he builds on it.

11 For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble;

But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw;

13 each man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man’s work of what sort it is.

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.

14 If any man’s work shall abide which he built thereon, he shall receive a reward.

If any man's work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.

15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as through fire.

If any man's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

16 Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you?

17 If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.

If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God's temple is holy, which you are.

18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man thinketh that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this age, let him become a fool, that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)

19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness:

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He traps the wise in their craftiness."

20 and again, The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.

And again, "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile."

21 Wherefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours;

Therefore let no one boast about people. 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 things to come. All are yours,

23 and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.

and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
