< 1 Corinthians 3 >
1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to carnal, [even] as to babes in Christ.
And I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual, but as fleshly, as infants in Meshikha.
2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able [to bear it], neither yet now are ye able.
I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you weren't yet ready. And even now you are still not ready,
3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and living by human standards?
4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I [am] of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not merely human?
5 Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him.
6 I have planted, Apollos watered: but God hath given the increase.
I planted. Apollos watered. But God made it grow.
7 So then, neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth: but God that giveth the increase.
So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who makes it grow.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labor.
Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 For we are laborers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, [ye are] God's building.
For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.
10 According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth upon it. But let every man take heed how he buildeth upon it.
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.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Yeshua Meshikha.
12 Now if any man buildeth upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw;
13 Every man's work will be made manifest: for the day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will try every man's work, of what sort it is.
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.
14 If any man's work abideth which he hath built upon it, he shall receive a reward.
If any man's work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he will suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
If any man's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Rukha lives in you?
17 If any man defileth the temple of God, him will God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.
If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God's temple is holy, which you are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn )
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 )
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He traps the wise in their craftiness."
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
And again, "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile."
21 Therefore let no man glory in men: for all things are yours:
Therefore let no one boast about people. 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 Kipha, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ [is] God's.
and you are Meshikha's, and Meshikha is God's.
