1 Corinthians 3
1 Brothers, I could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.
And I, brothers, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to carnal, as to the childlike in Christ.
2 I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you were not yet ready. Indeed, you are not ready even now,
I gave you milk to drink and not solid food, for ye were not yet able. But not even yet are ye able,
3 for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, are not you fleshly, and do not you walk in the ways of men?
for ye are still carnal. For whereas among you is envy and strife and divisions, are ye not carnal and walk according to man?
4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are not you fleshly?
For while one may say, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not carnal?
5 Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?
Who therefore is Paul and who is Apollos? But rather helpers through whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to each man.
6 I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused growth.
7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
So then neither is he who plants anything, nor he who waters, but God who causes growth.
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
Now he who plants and he who waters are one, but each man will receive his own payment according to his own labor.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.
For we are co-workmen of God. Ye are a tillage of God, an edifice of God.
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 that was given to me, as a wise master builder, I laid a foundation and another man is building on it. But let each man take heed how he is building on it.
11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
For no man can lay another foundation 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,
And if any man builds upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, 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.
each man's work will become manifest. For the day will make it known, because it is revealed by fire. And the fire will test each man's work of what kind it is.
14 If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
If any man's work that he built on will remain, he will receive benefit.
15 If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
If any man's work will be burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but so as through fire.
16 Do not you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?
Know ye not that ye are a temple of God and 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 man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy this man, for the temple of God is holy, which ye are.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this age (aiōn g165), let him become a fool, that he may become wise.
Let not one man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he may become 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 before God. For it is written, He who catches 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 thoughts of the wise that they are vain.
21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,
Therefore let not one man 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.
