1 Corinthians 3
1 And I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual, but as fleshly, as infants in Christ.
AND I, brethren, have been unable to speak to you as unto spiritual men, but as to carnal, even as to babes in Christ.
2 I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you weren't yet ready. And even now you are still not ready,
And I have given you milk to drink, and not meat: for hitherto ye have not been capable of it, yea, even to the present moment ye are not capable of it.
3 for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and living by human standards?
For ye are still carnal: for since there are among you envy, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as other men?
4 For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not merely human?
For when one saith, I am indeed of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him.
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but the ministers through whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to each of us?
6 I planted. Apollos watered. But God made it grow.
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who makes it grow.
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, nor he that watereth; but God who giveth the increase.
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but every one shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.
For we are God’s fellowlabourers: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.
10 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.
According to the grace of God given unto me, as a skilful architect, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every one take heed how he buildeth upon it.
11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus the Messiah.
12 But if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw;
But if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, timbers, hay, stubble;
13 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.
every man’s work shall be made manifest: for that day shall declare it, for it shall be laid open by fire; and the fire shall prove every man’s work of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
If any man’s work which he hath built abide the trial, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
If any man’s work be burnt up, he shall suffer loss: but himself shall be saved; yet so as through the fire.
16 Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you?
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God's temple is holy, which you are.
If any man prophane the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
18 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)
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinketh himself a wise man 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 traps the wise in their craftiness."
For the wisdom of this world is folly in the sight of God. For it is written, “He entangleth the wise in their own craftiness.”
20 And again, "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile."
And again, “The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise, that they are futile.”
21 Therefore let no one boast about people. For all things are yours,
Wherefore 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 things are your’s;
23 and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
