< 1 Corinthians 3 >

1 Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.
And I, brethren, have not been able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly; as to babes in Christ.
2 I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, you aren’t ready even now,
I have given you milk to drink, not meat, for ye have not yet been able, nor indeed are ye yet able;
3 for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?
for ye are yet carnal. For whereas [there are] among you emulation and strife, are ye not carnal, and walk according to man?
4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?
For when one says, I am of Paul, and another, I of Apollos, are ye not men?
5 Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?
Who then is Apollos, and who Paul? Ministering servants, through whom ye have believed, and as the Lord has given to each.
6 I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
I have planted; Apollos watered; but God has given the increase.
7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
So that neither the planter is anything, nor the waterer; but God the giver of the increase.
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
But the planter and the waterer are one; but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.
For we are God's fellow-workmen; ye are God's husbandry, God's building.
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 man be careful how he builds on it.
According to the grace of God which has been given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation, but another builds upon it. But let each see how he builds upon it.
11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
For other foundation can no man lay besides that which [is] laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,
Now if any one build upon [this] foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, 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.
the work of each shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare [it], because it is revealed in fire; and the fire shall try the work of each what it is.
14 If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
If the work of any one which he has built upon [the foundation] shall abide, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
If the work of any one shall be consumed, he shall suffer loss, but he shall be saved, but so as through [the] fire.
16 Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?
Do ye not know that ye are [the] temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.
If any one corrupt the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)
Let no one deceive himself: if any one thinks himself to be wise among you in this world, let him become foolish, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, He who takes the wise in their craftiness.
20 And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”
And again, [The] Lord knows the reasonings of the wise that they are vain.
21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,
So that let no one boast 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 coming, all are yours;
23 and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
and ye [are] Christ's, and Christ [is] God's.
