1 Corinthians 3

1 And I myself And I myself brothers not was able to speak to you as to spiritual but as (to fleshly, *N(k)O*) as to infants in Christ.

Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly—as infants in Christ.

2 Milk you I gave to drink, (and *k*) not solid food; not yet for were you able, In fact (not *N(k)O*) still now are you able;

I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for solid food. In fact, you are still not ready,

3 still for fleshly you are. Where for [are] among you jealousy and strife (and dissensions *K*) surely fleshly are you and according to man are walking?

for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man?

4 When for may say one; I myself indeed am of Paul, another however I myself of Apollos, (surely *N(k)O*) (human *N(K)O*) are you?

For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men?

5 (who *N(k)O*) then is Apollos (who *N(k)O*) now (is *no*) Paul (other than *K*) Servants through whom you believed, also to each as the Lord has given.

What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role.

6 I myself planted, Apollos watered, but God was [it] growing;

I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.

7 So neither the [one] planting is anything nor the [one] watering, but [only] the [One] giving growth — God;

So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.

8 The [one] planting now also the [one] watering one are, each now [his] own reward will receive according to [his] own labor.

He who plants and he who waters are one in purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor.

9 Of God for we are fellow workers; God’s field, God’s building you are.

For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.

10 According to the grace of God which having been given to me as a wise master builder [the] foundation (I laid, *N(k)O*) another however is building upon [it]. Each one however should take heed how he builds upon [it].

By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds.

11 Foundation for another no [one] is able to lay besides the [one] being already laid, which is Jesus (*k*) Christ.

For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 If now anyone builds upon foundation (this *k*) (gold, silver, *NK(o)*) stones precious, wood, hay, straw,

If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,

13 of each the work manifest will become; the for day will disclose [it], because in fire it is revealed, and of each the work what sort it is the fire (itself *no*) will prove.

his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work.

14 If of anyone the work will remain which he built up, a reward he will receive;

If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward.

15 If of anyone the work will be burned up, he will suffer loss, he himself however will be saved so however as through fire.

If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames.

16 Surely you know that temple of God you yourselves are, and the Spirit of God dwells in you

Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

17 If anyone the temple of God destroys, will destroy him God; for the temple of God holy is, which are you yourselves.

If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.

18 No one himself should deceive; if anyone thinks [himself] wise to be among you in age this, foolish he should become so that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)

Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool, so that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)

19 The for wisdom of the world this foolishness with God is. It has been written for: [He is] the [One] catching the wise in the craftiness of them;

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.”

20 And again; [The] Lord knows the thoughts of the wise that they are futile.

And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”

21 Therefore no one should boast in men; All things for of you are,

Therefore, stop boasting in men. All things are yours,

22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or [the] world or life or death or things being present or things to come — all yours (is — *k*)

whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All of them belong to you,

23 you now of Christ, Christ now of God.

and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
