1 Corinthians 3

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

I also, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual men, but as those who are not spiritual, 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 fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able to bear it. Nor indeed are ye able even now;

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 yet unspiritual. For while there is among you rivalry and strife, are ye not unspiritual, and walking after the manner of men?

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

For while one saith, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not [[like common]] men?

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 Apollos, and who is Paul, but ministers through whom ye believed, and that as the Lord gave to each?

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

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

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

So then, neither he that planteth nor he that watereth is anything, but God that giveth the growth.

8 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

And he that planteth and he that watereth are one; and each will 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 God's fellow-laborers; ye are God's field, 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 bestowed on me, I, as a skilful master-builder, have laid the foundation; and another buildeth thereon; but let every one take heed, how he buildeth thereon.

11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

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

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

But if any one build upon this foundation with 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.

the work of every one will be made manifest; for the day will show it; because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will prove what every one's work is.

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

If the work which any one built thereon remaineth, he will receive 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 one's work shall be burned up, he will lose the reward; but he will be saved himself, yet as one escaping through 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 God's temple, 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 one defaceth the temple of God, God will deface him; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.

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 one deceive himself; if any one thinketh himself 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 is written, "He traps 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 thoughts of the wise, that they are futile."

and again: “The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.”

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

So then 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 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 ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
