1 Corinthians
Chapter 3

1. And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
2. I have fed you with milk, and not with food: for until now all of you were not able to bear it, neither yet now are all of you able.
3. For all of you are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are all of you not carnal, and walk as men?
4. For while one says, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are all of you not carnal?
5. Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom all of you believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
6. I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7. So then neither is he that plants any thing, neither he that waters; but God that gives the increase.
8. Now he that plants and he that waters are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
9. For we are labourers together with God: all of you are God's farming, all of you are God's building.
10. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation, and another builds thereon. But let every man take heed how he builds thereupon.
11. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13. Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14. If any man's work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16. Know all of you not that all of you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit (o. pneuma) of God dwells in you?
17. If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple all of you are.
18. Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness.
20. And again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21. Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;
22. Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;
23. And all of you are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
