Verse
1 Corinthians - ch 3 v 1 - 20
- And I, brethren, have not been able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly; as to babes in Christ.
- I have given you milk to drink, not meat, for ye have not yet been able, nor indeed are ye yet able;
- for ye are yet carnal. For whereas there are among you emulation and strife, are ye not carnal, and walk according to man?
- For when one says, I am of Paul, and another, I of Apollos, are ye not men?
- Who then is Apollos, and who Paul? Ministering servants, through whom ye have believed, and as the Lord has given to each.
- I have planted; Apollos watered; but God has given the increase.
- So that neither the planter is anything, nor the waterer; but God the giver of the increase.
- But the planter and the waterer are one; but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
- For we are God's fellow-workmen; ye are God's husbandry, God's building.
- 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.
- For other foundation can no man lay besides that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
- Now if any one build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw,
- 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.
- If the work of any one which he has built upon the foundation shall abide, he shall receive a reward.
- If the work of any one shall be consumed, he shall suffer loss, but he shall be saved, but so as through the fire.
- Do ye not know that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
- If any one corrupt the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.
- 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.
- For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, He who takes the wise in their craftiness.
- And again, The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise that they are vain.
