3:1 |
And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to carnal, [even] as to babes in Christ.
|
3:2 |
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able [to bear it], neither yet now are ye able.
|
3:3 |
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
|
3:4 |
For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I [am] of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
|
3:5 |
Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
|
3:6 |
I have planted, Apollos watered: but God hath given the increase.
|
3:7 |
So then, neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth: but God that giveth the increase.
|
3:8 |
Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labor.
|
3:9 |
For we are laborers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, [ye are] God's building.
|
3:10 |
According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth upon it. But let every man take heed how he buildeth upon it.
|
3:11 |
For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
|
3:12 |
Now if any man buildeth upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
|
3:13 |
Every man's work will be made manifest: for the day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will try every man's work, of what sort it is.
|
3:14 |
If any man's work abideth which he hath built upon it, he shall receive a reward.
|
3:15 |
If any man's work shall be burned, he will suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
|
3:16 |
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
|
3:17 |
If any man defileth the temple of God, him will God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.
|
3:18 |
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
|
3:19 |
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
|
3:20 |
And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
|
3:21 |
Therefore let no man glory in men: for all things are yours:
|
3:22 |
Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
|
3:23 |
And ye are Christ's; and Christ [is] God's.
