1 Corinthians 3

1 I, therefore, brethren, have not been able to speak unto you, as unto men of the Spirit, but as unto men of the flesh—as unto babes 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 With milk, have I fed you, not, with meat; for, not yet, have ye been able; —nay! not [yet] even now, are ye able,

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 ye are yet fleshly. For, whereas there are, among you, jealousy and strife, are ye not, fleshly, and, after the manner of men, walking?

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, as soon as one beginneth to say—I, indeed, am of Paul! and another—I, of Apollos! are ye not, men?

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? ministers through whom ye 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, caused to, grow.

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

7 So that, [neither] is he that planteth anything, nor, he that watereth, —but, God, who causeth to, grow.

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

8 Moreover, he that planteth and he that watereth, are one: —howbeit, each one, his own reward, shall receive, —according to his own labour.

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-workmen: ye are, God’s, farm, God’s building.

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

10 According to the favour of God which hath been given unto me, as a wise master-builder, I laid a foundation, whereas, another, is building thereon; but, let each one, see, how he buildeth thereon;

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, other foundation, can, no one, lay, than that which is lying, 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 is building, upon the foundation—gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

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

13 Each one’s work, shall be made, manifest; for, the day, will make it plain, because, by fire, is it to be revealed, —and, each one’s work, of what sort it is, the fire itself will prove: —

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, anyone’s work, shall abide, which he built, a reward, shall he receive, —

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

15 If, anyone’s work, shall be burnt up, he shall suffer loss, but shall, himself, be saved—though, thus, 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 Know ye not that ye are a shrine of God, and that the Spirit of God within you doth dwell?

have ye not known that ye are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God doth dwell in you?

17 If anyone doth mar the shrine of God, God, will mar him; for the shrine of God is holy, —and such are ye.

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 be deceiving himself: —if anyone imagineth himself to be wise among you, in this age, let him become foolish, 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 that taketh the wise in their knavery, —

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 taketh note of the speculations of the wise, that they are vain.

and again, 'The Lord doth know the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.'

21 So then, let, no one, be boasting in men; 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, ye, are Christ’s, —and, Christ, is, God’s.

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