| 3:1 |
And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to babes in Christ.
|
| 3:2 |
I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able [to receive it]. Indeed, even now you are not yet able,
|
| 3:3 |
for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men?
|
| 3:4 |
For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not [mere] men?
|
| 3:5 |
What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave [opportunity] to each one.
|
| 3:6 |
I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.
|
| 3:7 |
So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.
|
| 3:8 |
Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
|
| 3:9 |
For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.
|
| 3:10 |
According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it. But let each man be careful how he builds upon it.
|
| 3:11 |
For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
|
| 3:12 |
Now if any man builds upon the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
|
| 3:13 |
each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it, because it is [to be] revealed with fire; and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work.
|
| 3:14 |
If any man's work which he has built upon it remains, he shall receive a reward.
|
| 3:15 |
If any man's work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as through fire.
|
| 3:16 |
Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwells in you?
|
| 3:17 |
If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.
|
| 3:18 |
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become foolish that he may become wise.
|
| 3:19 |
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, "[He is] the one who catches the wise in their craftiness";
|
| 3:20 |
and again, "The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are useless."
|
| 3:21 |
So then let no one boast in men. For all things belong to you,
|
| 3:22 |
whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you,
|
| 3:23 |
and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God.
