1 Corinthians 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 meat: for hitherto ye
were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. |
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? |
4 |
For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of
Apollos; are ye not carnal? |
5 |
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom
ye 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 planteth any thing, neither he
that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. |
8 |
Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every
man shall receive his own reward according to his own
labour. |
9 |
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's
husbandry, ye are God's building. |
10 |
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a
wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another
buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth
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 hath 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 ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the
Spirit of God dwelleth in you? |
17 |
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy;
for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. |
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. |
19 |
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it
is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. |
20 |
And again, The Lord knoweth 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 ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. |
