< 1 Corinthians 3 >
1 And I, brothers, could not speak to you as spiritual people, but instead as to fleshly people, as to little children in Christ.
Κἀγώ, Κἀγώ, ἀδελφοί, οὐκ ἠδυνήθην λαλῆσαι ὑμῖν ὡς πνευματικοῖς ἀλλ᾽ ὡς (σαρκίνοις, *N(k)O*) ὡς νηπίοις ἐν Χριστῷ.
2 I fed you milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it; and even now you are not yet ready.
γάλα ὑμᾶς ἐπότισα, (καὶ *k*) οὐ βρῶμα· οὔπω γὰρ ἐδύνασθε, ἀλλ᾽ (οὐδὲ *N(k)O*) ἔτι νῦν δύνασθε·
3 For you are still fleshly. For where jealousy and strife exist among you, are you not living according to the flesh, and are you not walking by human standards?
ἔτι γὰρ σαρκικοί ἐστε. ὅπου γὰρ ἐν ὑμῖν ζῆλος καὶ ἔρις (καὶ διχοστασίαι, *K*) οὐχὶ σαρκικοί ἐστε καὶ κατὰ ἄνθρωπον περιπατεῖτε;
4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another says, “I follow Apollos,” are you not living as human beings?
ὅταν γὰρ λέγῃ τις· ἐγὼ μέν εἰμι Παύλου, ἕτερος δὲ ἐγὼ Ἀπολλῶ, (οὐκ *N(k)O*) (ἄνθρωποί *N(K)O*) ἐστε;
5 Who then is Apollos? Who is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, to each of whom the Lord gave tasks.
(Τί *N(k)O*) οὖν ἐστιν Ἀπολλῶς (τί *N(k)O*) δέ (ἐστιν *no*) Παῦλος; (ἀλλ᾽ ἢ *K*) διάκονοι δι᾽ ὧν ἐπιστεύσατε, καὶ ἑκάστῳ ὡς ὁ κύριος ἔδωκεν.
6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.
ἐγὼ ἐφύτευσα, Ἀπολλῶς ἐπότισεν, ἀλλ᾽ ὁ θεὸς ηὔξανεν·
7 So then, neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything. But it is God who gives the growth.
ὥστε οὔτε ὁ φυτεύων ἐστίν τι οὔτε ὁ ποτίζων, ἀλλ᾽ ὁ αὐξάνων θεός·
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his own wages according to his own labor.
ὁ φυτεύων δὲ καὶ ὁ ποτίζων ἕν εἰσιν, ἕκαστος δὲ τὸν ἴδιον μισθὸν λήμψεται κατὰ τὸν ἴδιον κόπον.
9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's garden, God's building.
θεοῦ γάρ ἐσμεν συνεργοί· θεοῦ γεώργιον, θεοῦ οἰκοδομή ἐστε.
10 According to the grace of God that was given to me as a skilled master builder, I laid a foundation and another is building on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.
κατὰ τὴν χάριν τοῦ θεοῦ τὴν δοθεῖσάν μοι ὡς σοφὸς ἀρχιτέκτων θεμέλιον (ἔθηκα, *N(k)O*) ἄλλος δὲ ἐποικοδομεῖ. ἕκαστος δὲ βλεπέτω πῶς ἐποικοδομεῖ.
11 For no one can lay a foundation other than the one that has been laid, that is, Jesus Christ.
θεμέλιον γὰρ ἄλλον οὐδεὶς δύναται θεῖναι παρὰ τὸν κείμενον, ὅς ἐστιν Ἰησοῦς (ὁ *k*) Χριστός.
12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,
εἰ δέ τις ἐποικοδομεῖ ἐπὶ τὸν θεμέλιον (τοῦτον *k*) (χρυσόν, ἄργυρον, *NK(o)*) λίθους τιμίους, ξύλα, χόρτον, καλάμην,
13 his work will be revealed, for the daylight will reveal it. For it will be revealed in fire. The fire will test the quality of what each one had done.
ἑκάστου τὸ ἔργον φανερὸν γενήσεται· ἡ γὰρ ἡμέρα δηλώσει, ὅτι ἐν πυρὶ ἀποκαλύπτεται, καὶ ἑκάστου τὸ ἔργον ὁποῖόν ἐστιν τὸ πῦρ (αὐτὸ *no*) δοκιμάσει.
14 If anyone's work remains, he will receive a reward;
εἴ τινος τὸ ἔργον μενεῖ ὃ ἐποικοδόμησεν, μισθὸν λήμψεται·
15 but if anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, as though escaping through fire.
εἴ τινος τὸ ἔργον κατακαήσεται, ζημιωθήσεται, αὐτὸς δὲ σωθήσεται οὕτως δὲ ὡς διὰ πυρός.
16 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that the Spirit of God lives in you?
Οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι ναὸς θεοῦ ἐστε, καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα τοῦ θεοῦ οἰκεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν;
17 If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person. For God's temple is holy, and so are you.
εἴ τις τὸν ναὸν τοῦ θεοῦ φθείρει, φθερεῖ τοῦτον ὁ θεός· ὁ γὰρ ναὸς τοῦ θεοῦ ἅγιός ἐστιν, οἵτινές ἐστε ὑμεῖς.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become a “fool” that he may become wise. (aiōn )
Μηδεὶς ἑαυτὸν ἐξαπατάτω· εἴ τις δοκεῖ σοφὸς εἶναι ἐν ὑμῖν ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τούτῳ, μωρὸς γενέσθω ἵνα γένηται σοφός. (aiōn )
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness.”
ἡ γὰρ σοφία τοῦ κόσμου τούτου μωρία παρὰ τῷ θεῷ ἐστιν. γέγραπται γάρ· ὁ δρασσόμενος τοὺς σοφοὺς ἐν τῇ πανουργίᾳ αὐτῶν·
20 And again, “The Lord knows that the reasoning of the wise is futile.”
καὶ πάλιν· κύριος γινώσκει τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς τῶν σοφῶν ὅτι εἰσὶν μάταιοι.
21 For this reason, let no one boast in men. All things are yours,
Ὥστε μηδεὶς καυχάσθω ἐν ἀνθρώποις· πάντα γὰρ ὑμῶν ἐστιν,
22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All things are yours,
εἴτε Παῦλος εἴτε Ἀπολλῶς εἴτε Κηφᾶς εἴτε κόσμος εἴτε ζωὴ εἴτε θάνατος εἴτε ἐνεστῶτα εἴτε μέλλοντα, πάντα ὑμῶν (ἐστιν, *k*)
23 and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
ὑμεῖς δὲ Χριστοῦ, Χριστὸς δὲ θεοῦ.
