1 Corinthians 3

1 And I, my brethren, could not speak to you, as to spiritual persons, but as to carnal ones, 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 ye were not hitherto able to bear it, nor yet are ye even now able.

I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you weren't yet ready. And even now you are still not ready,

3 Because ye are still carnal: for while there is among you envy and strife and divisions, are ye not carnal, and do ye not 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 when 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 whose means ye embraced the faith, even as the Lord gave success to each of them?

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 gave the increase.

I planted. Apollos watered. But God made it grow.

7 So that neither he that planteth is any thing, nor 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 And he that planteth, and he that watereth, are as one: but each 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 fellow-laborers, the servants of God: and ye are the husbandry of God, ye are the building of God.

For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.

10 According to the grace of God given to me, as a wise architect I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon: but let every one see to it how he buildeth thereon.

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 no one can lay any other foundation, but that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ: and if any build upon this foundation gold,

For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Yeshua Meshikha.

12 silver, precious stones, or wood, hay, stubble;

But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw;

13 every man's work shall be made manifest. For the great day will shew it; because it will be discovered by fire, and the fire will prove 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 abide, 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 but if any man's work be burnt, he will be damaged; though he himself shall be saved, but, as it were out of fire.

If any man's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

16 Do ye not know that ye are the temple of God, and 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 one destroy the temple of God, him will God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, and this temple are ye.

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

18 Let no one deceive himself: if any among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be truly wise. (aiōn g165)

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 g165)

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 one 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 future, 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.
