1 Corinthians 3

1 And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly—as to babies in Christ;

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

2 with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for you were not yet able, but not even yet are you now able,

I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able [to bear it]: nay, not even now are ye able;

3 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?

for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk after the manner of men?

4 For when one may say, “I, indeed, am of Paul,” and another, “I—of Apollos,” are you not fleshly?

For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not men?

5 Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but servants through whom you believed, and to each as the LORD gave?

What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom ye believed; and each as the Lord gave to him.

6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;

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

7 so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth—God;

So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

8 and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor,

Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.

9 for we are fellow-workmen of God; you are God’s tillage, God’s building.

For we are God’s fellow-workers: ye are God’s husbandry, God’s building.

10 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],

According to the grace of God which was given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder I laid a foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let each man take heed how he buildeth thereon.

11 for no one is able to lay another foundation except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ;

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

12 and if anyone builds on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw—

But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble;

13 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;

each man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man’s work of what sort it is.

14 if the work of anyone remains that he built on [it], he will receive a wage;

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

15 if the work of any is burned up, he will suffer loss, but himself will be saved, but so as through fire.

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

16 Have you not known that you are a temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you?

Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

17 If anyone ruins the temple of God, God will ruin him; for the temple of God is holy, which you are.

If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.

18 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)

Let no man deceive himself. If any man thinketh that he is wise among you in this world, 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 has been written: “Who is taking the wise in their craftiness”;

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness:

20 and again, “The LORD knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.”

and again, The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.

21 So then, let no one glory in men, for all things are yours,

Wherefore 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 about to be—all are yours,

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

23 and you [are] Christ’s, and Christ [is] God’s.

and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
