1 Corinthians 3

1 As for me, brothers, I could not talk to you as spiritual men, but as to creatures of flesh, mere babes in Christ.

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

2 I fed you milk, not meat; for you were unable to bear it.

I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you weren't yet ready. And even now you are still not ready,

3 You are not able even now, for you are still unspiritual. While there is among you jealousy and strife, are you not still unspiritual, and behaving like worldlings?

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 When one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not mere worldlings?

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

5 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Just ministers through whom you have believed, and each doing the work that the Lord gave him.

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

6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God made the seed grow.

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

7 So neither is he who planted anything, nor he who watered, but God alone, who is making the seed grow.

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

8 Now, though he who plants and he who waters are one, each will receive his own reward, according to his own service.

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 God’s fellow workers; and you are God’s field, 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 vouchsafed me, like a skillful master- builder, I have laid a foundation; but another will be building upon it. Let each take heed how he builds on it.

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 The foundation is already laid - Jesus Christ - and no man can lay another.

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

12 On that foundation, if a man proceeds to build gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble, each man’s work will be made manifest.

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

13 The Day will disclose it, for it dawns in fire, and the fire will test each man’s work, of what quality 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 - the building he has made - stands the test, he will be rewarded.

If any man's work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.

15 If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, as it were through the flames.

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

16 Do you not know what you are God’s sanctuary, and that the Spirit of God is dwelling within you?

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

17 If any one tear down God’s sanctuary, God will tear him down; for the sanctuary of God is holy, and that is what 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 one deceive himself. If any one of you supposes that he is wise in the philosophy of the present age, let him become foolish, so 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 philosophy of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. It is written, He snares 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 reasonings of the wise, how futile they are.

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

21 So let no one make boast in men. For all things are yours;

Therefore let no one boast about people. For all things are yours,

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

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Kipha, 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 you are Meshikha's, and Meshikha is God's.
