1 Corinthians 3

1 Now, I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly men, even as to babes in Christ.

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

2 Milk I gave you--not meat; for you were not then able to receive it: nay, neither yet now are you able, because you are still fleshly.

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.

3 For, whereas, among you, envying, and strife, and divisions subsist; are you not fleshly, and walk after the manner of men?

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?

4 Besides, while one says, I, indeed, am of Paul; and another, I of Apollos, are you not fleshly?

For while one says, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are all of you not carnal?

5 For who is Paul, and who is Apollos; but ministers, by whom you have believed, even as the Lord has given to each?

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

6 I have planted, Apollos has watered; but God has made to grow.

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

7 So that neither the planter is anything, nor the waterer; but God, who makes to grow.

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

8 However, the planter and the waterer are one, and each shall receive his proper reward, according to his proper labor.

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

9 Wherefore, we are joint laborers, employed by God. You are God's field; you are God's building.

For we are labourers together with God: all of you are God's farming, all of you are God's building.

10 According to the favor of God, which is given to me as a skillful architect, I have laid the foundation, and another builds upon it. But let every one take heed how he builds on it.

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.

11 For other foundation no one can lay, except what is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

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

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

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

13 every one's work shall be made manifest: for the say will make it plain, because it is revealed by fire; and so the fire will try every one's work, of what sort it is.

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 the work of any one remain, which he has built upon the foundation: he shall receive a reward.

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

15 If the work of any one shall be burnt, he will suffer loss: himself, however, shall be saved, yet so as through a fire.

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

16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells among you?

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

17 If any one destroy the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

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.

18 Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you think to be wise in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)

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)

19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, "He entangled the wise in their own craftiness."

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness.

20 And again, "The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain."

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

21 Wherefore, let no man boast in men; for all things are yours:

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

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 to come; all are your's;

23 and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

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