< 1 Corinthians 3 >
1 And I, brethren, have not been able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly; as to babes in Christ.
And I, brethren, was not able to speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even babes in Christ.
2 I have given you milk to drink, not meat, for ye have not yet been able, nor indeed are ye yet able;
I have fed you with milk, not with meat; for you were not yet able. But ye are not now yet able:
3 for ye are yet carnal. For whereas [there are] among you emulation and strife, are ye not carnal, and walk according to man?
for ye are yet carnal. For where there are envy and strife among you, are you not carnal, and walking about according to man?
4 For when one says, I am of Paul, and another, I of Apollos, are ye not men?
For when one may say, I am indeed of Paul; another, I am of Apollos; are you not men?
5 Who then is Apollos, and who Paul? Ministering servants, through whom ye have believed, and as the Lord has given to each.
Then what is Apollos? and what is Paul? But ministers through whom ye believed; even as the Lord gave to each one.
6 I have planted; Apollos watered; but God has given the increase.
I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7 So that neither the planter is anything, nor the waterer; but God the giver of the increase.
So neither is the one planting, nor the one watering anything, but God the one giving the increase.
8 But the planter and the waterer are one; but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
But he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and each one shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 For we are God's fellow-workmen; ye are God's husbandry, God's building.
For we are God's fellow-laborers; ye are God's farm; ye are God's building.
10 According to the grace of God which has been given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation, but another builds upon it. But let each see how he builds upon it.
According to the grace of God which was given unto me, I as a wise architect, laid the foundation; and another builds on it. Let each one take heed how he builds.
11 For other foundation can no man lay besides that which [is] laid, which is Jesus Christ.
For other foundation no one is able to lay beside the one which is laid, who is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any one build upon [this] foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw,
But if any one builds upon the foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 the work of each shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare [it], because it is revealed in fire; and the fire shall try the work of each what it is.
the work of each will be made manifest: for the day will reveal it, because it is revealed by fire; and the same fire will try the work of each what soil it is.
14 If the work of any one which he has built upon [the foundation] shall abide, he shall receive a reward.
And if the work of any one which he builds, abides, he will receive a reward:
15 If the work of any one shall be consumed, he shall suffer loss, but he shall be saved, but so as through [the] fire.
But if the work of any one shall be burnt up, he shall suffer loss; but himself shall be saved, but as through the fire.
16 Do ye not know that ye are [the] temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwells in you?
Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If any one corrupt the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.
If any one destroys the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which ye are.
18 Let no one deceive himself: if any one thinks himself to be wise among you in this world, let him become foolish, that he may be wise. (aiōn )
Let no one deceive himself. If any one seems to be wise among you in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn )
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, He who takes the wise in their craftiness.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it has been written. He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, [The] Lord knows the reasonings of the wise that they are vain.
And again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 So that let no one boast in men; for all things are yours.
So let no one boast among 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 coming, all are yours;
whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come.
23 and ye [are] Christ's, and Christ [is] God's.
All things are yours; and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
