< 1 Corinthians 3 >

1 And I, brothers, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to carnal, even as to babes in Christ.
And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly—as to babies in Christ;
2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for till now you were not able to bear it, neither yet now are you able.
with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for you were not yet able, but not even yet are you now able,
3 For you are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not carnal, and walk as men?
for yet you are fleshly, for where [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not fleshly, and walk in the manner of men?
4 For while one says, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are you not carnal?
For when one may say, “I, indeed, am of Paul,” and another, “I—of Apollos,” are you not fleshly?
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but servants through whom you believed, and to each as the LORD gave?
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;
7 So then neither is he that plants any thing, neither he that waters; but God that gives the increase.
so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth—God;
8 Now he that plants and he that waters are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor,
9 For we are laborers together with God: you are God’s husbandry, you are God’s building.
for we are fellow-workmen of God; you are God’s tillage, God’s building.
10 According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds thereon. But let every man take heed how he builds thereupon.
According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid a foundation, and another builds on [it],
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
for no one is able to lay another foundation except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ;
12 Now if any man build on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
and if anyone builds on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw—
13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
the work will become visible of each, for the day will declare [it], because it is revealed in fire, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire will prove;
14 If any man’s work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
if the work of anyone remains that he built on [it], he will receive a wage;
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
if the work of any is burned up, he will suffer loss, but himself will be saved, but so as through fire.
16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
Have you not known that you are a temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
If anyone ruins the temple of God, God will ruin him; for the temple of God is holy, which you are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
Let no one deceive himself; if anyone seems to be 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 takes the wise in their own craftiness.
for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it has been written: “Who is taking the wise in their craftiness”;
20 And again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
and again, “The LORD knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.”
21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
So then, 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 things about to be—all are yours,
23 And you are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
and you [are] Christ’s, and Christ [is] God’s.
