1 Corinthians 3

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

And I, brothers, could not speak to you as to spiritual, 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,

I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for till now you were not able to bear it, neither yet now are you able.

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 you are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not carnal, and walk as men?

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

For while one says, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are you 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 ministers by whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

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 plants any thing, neither he that waters; but God that gives 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 plants and he that waters are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.

9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.

For we are laborers together with God: you are God’s husbandry, you 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 which is given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds thereon. But let every man take heed how he builds thereupon.

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 Christ.

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

Now if any man build on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, 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 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 any man's work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.

If any man’s work abide which he has built thereupon, 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 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 a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you?

Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells 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 defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you 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 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 traps the wise in their 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 thoughts of the wise, that they are futile."

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

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

Therefore let no man 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 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 yours;

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

And you are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
