1 Corinthians 3

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

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

2 I have fed you with milk, and not with food: for until now all of you were not able to bear it, neither yet now are all of you 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 all of you are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are all of you not carnal, and walk as 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 while one says, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are all of you not carnal?

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

5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom all of you believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

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

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

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

7 So then neither is he that plants any thing, neither he that waters; but God that gives the increase.

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

8 Now he that plants and he that waters are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

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 labourers together with God: all of you are God's farming, all of you are 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 is given unto me, as a wise architect, 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 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 is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Yeshua the Messiah.

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

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

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 abide which he has built thereupon, 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 by fire.

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

16 Know all of you not that all of you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit (pneuma) of God dwells in you?

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

17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple all of you are.

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 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 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 takes the wise in their own 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 knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

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

21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;

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 your's;

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Kefa, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,

23 And all of you are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

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