1 Corinthians 3

1 And I could not speake vnto you, brethren, as vnto spirituall men, but as vnto carnall, euen as vnto babes in Christ.

And I, brethren, could not speak to you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal. As unto little ones in Christ.

2 I gaue you milke to drinke, and not meat: for yee were not yet able to beare it, neither yet nowe are yee able.

I gave you milk to drink, not meat; for you were not able as yet. But neither indeed are you now able; for you are yet carnal.

3 For yee are yet carnall: for whereas there is among you enuying, and strife, and diuisions, are ye not carnall, and walke as men?

For, whereas there is among you envying and contention, are you not carnal, and walk according to man?

4 For when one sayeth, I am Pauls, and another, I am Apollos, are yee not carnall?

For while one saith, I indeed am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollo; are you not men? What then is Apollo, and what is Paul?

5 Who is Paul then? and who is Apollos, but the ministers by whome yee beleeued, and as the Lord gaue to euery man?

The ministers of him whom you have believed; and to every one as the Lord hath given.

6 I haue planted, Apollos watred, but God gaue the increase.

I have planted, Apollo watered, but God gave the increase.

7 So then, neither is hee that planteth any thing, neither hee that watreth, but God that giueth the increase.

Therefore, neither he that planteth is any thing, nor he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

8 And he that planteth, and he that watreth, are one, and euery man shall receiue his wages, according to his labour.

Now he that planteth, and he that watereth, ate one. And every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labour.

9 For we together are Gods labourers: yee are Gods husbandrie, and Gods building.

For we are God’s coadjutors: you are God’s husbandry; you are God’s building.

10 According to the grace of God giuen to mee, as a skilfull master builder, I haue laide the foundation, and another buildeth thereon: but let euery man take heede how he buildeth vpon it.

According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

11 For other foundation can no man laie, then that which is laied, which is Iesus Christ.

For other foundation no man can lay, but that which is laid; which is Christ Jesus.

12 And if any man builde on this foundation, golde, siluer, precious stones, timber, haye, or stubble,

Now if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble:

13 Euery mans worke shalbe made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shalbe reueiled by the fire: and the fire shall trie euery mans worke of what sort it is.

Every man’s work shall be manifest; for the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work, of what sort it is.

14 If any mans worke, that he hath built vpon, abide, he shall receiue wages.

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

15 If any mans worke burne, he shall lose, but he shalbe saued himselfe: neuerthelesse yet as it were by the fire.

If any man’s work burn, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire.

16 Knowe ye not that ye are the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

Know you not, that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

17 If any man destroy the Temple of God, him shall God destroy: for the Temple of God is holy, which ye are.

But if any man violate the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which you are.

18 Let no man deceiue himselfe: If any man among you seeme to be wise in this world, let him be a foole, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)

Let no man deceive himself: if any man among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)

19 For the wisdome of this worlde is foolishnesse with God: for it is written, He catcheth the wise in their owne craftinesse.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written: I will catch the wise in their own craftiness.

20 And againe, The Lord knoweth that the thoughtes of the wise be vaine.

And again: The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

21 Therefore let no man reioyce in men: for all things are yours.

Let no man therefore glory in men.

22 Whether it be Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death: whether they be things present, or thinges to come, euen all are yours,

For all things are yours, whether it be Paul, or Apollo, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to some; for all are yours;

23 And ye Christes, and Christ Gods.

And you are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
