| 1 |
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ. | Fellow Workmen for God 1Cor.3.1-23 |
| 2 |
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able , neither yet now are ye able. | |
| 3 |
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas 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 of Apollos; are ye not carnal? | |
| 5 |
Who then is Paul, and who 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, 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 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 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. | - He catches the wise in their craftiness 1Cor.3.19 - Jb.5.13 |
| 20 |
And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. | - The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile 1Cor.3.20 - Ps.94.11 |
| 21 |
Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; | |
| 22 |
Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; | |
| 23 |
And ye are Christ's; and Christ God's. | |
