< 1 Corinthians 3 >
1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in the Messiah.
2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as YHWH gave to every man?
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but YHWH gave the increase.
7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but YHWH that giveth the increase.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
9 For we are labourers together with YHWH: ye are YHWH 's husbandry, ye are YHWH 's building.
10 According to the favour of YHWH which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, 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 lay than that is laid, which is Yahushua the Messiah.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
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.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall 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 by fire.
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of YHWH, and that the Spirit of YHWH dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of YHWH, him shall YHWH destroy; for the temple of YHWH is holy, which temple ye are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn )
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with YHWH. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, YHWH knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Kepha, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
23 And ye are the Messiah's; and the Messiah is YHWH 's.
