1 Corinthians 3

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

And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly — 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,

with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for ye were not yet able, but not even yet are ye now 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 yet ye are fleshly, for where [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and in the manner of men do walk?

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

for when one may say, 'I, indeed, am of Paul;' and another, 'I — of Apollos;' are ye not fleshly?

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 Apollos, but ministrants through whom ye did believe, and to each as the Lord gave?

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

I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;

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

so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth — God;

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 who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each his own reward shall receive, according to his own labour,

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

for of God we are fellow-workmen; God's tillage, God's building ye are.

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 that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, a foundation I have laid, and another doth build on [it],

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

for other foundation no one is able to lay except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ;

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

and if any one doth build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw —

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.

of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare [it], because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove;

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

if of any one the work doth remain that he built on [it], a wage he shall receive;

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

if of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; and himself shall be saved, but so as through fire.

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

have ye not known that ye are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God doth dwell 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 the sanctuary of God doth waste, him shall God waste; for the sanctuary of God is holy, the which 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 one deceive himself; if any one doth seem to be wise among you in this age — 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 hath been written, 'Who is taking the wise in their craftiness;'

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

and again, 'The Lord doth know the reasonings 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 about to be — all are yours,

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

and ye [are] Christ's, and Christ [is] God's.
