1 Corinthians 3

1
I, therefore, brethren, have not been able to speak unto you, as unto men of the Spirit, but as unto men of the flesh--as unto babes in Christ:--

2
With milk, have I fed you, not, with meat; for, not yet, have ye been able;--nay! not yet even now, are ye able,

3
For ye are yet fleshly. For, whereas there are, among you, jealousy and strife, are ye not, fleshly, and, after the manner of men, walking?

4
For, as soon as one beginneth to say--I, indeed, am of Paul! and another--I, of Apollos! are ye not, men?

5
What then is Apollos? and, what is Paul? ministers through whom ye believed, and, each, as the Lord, gave to him.

6
I, planted, Apollos, watered,--but, God, caused to, grow.

7
So that, neither is he that planteth anything, nor, he that watereth,--but, God, who causeth to, grow.

8
Moreover, he that planteth and he that watereth, are one:--howbeit, each one, his own reward, shall receive,--according to his own labour.

9
For we are, Gods, fellow-workmen: ye are, Gods, farm, Gods building.

10
According to the favour of God which hath been given unto me, as a wise master-builder, I laid a foundation, whereas, another, is building thereon; but,
let each one, see, how he buildeth thereon;

11
For, other foundation, can, no one, lay, than that which is lying, which is, Jesus Christ.

12
But, if anyone is building, upon the foundation--gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

13
Each ones work, shall be made, manifest; for, the day, will make it plain, because, by fire, is it to be revealed,--and, each ones work, of what sort
it is, the fire itself will prove:--

14
If, anyones work, shall abide, which he built, a reward, shall he receive,--

15
If, anyones work, shall be burnt up, he shall suffer loss, but shall, himself, be saved--though, thus, as through fire.

16
Know ye not that ye are a shrine a of God, and that the Spirit of God within you doth dwell?

17
If anyone doth mar the shrine of God, God, will mar him; for the shrine of God is holy,--and such are ye.

18
Let no one be deceiving himself:--if anyone imagineth himself to be wise among you, in this age, let him become foolish, that he may become wise;

19
For, the wisdom of this world, is, foolishness with God; for it is written--He that taketh the wise in their knavery,--

20
And again--The Lord taketh note of the speculations of the wise, that they are vain.

21
So then, let, no one, be boasting 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 Christs,--and, Christ, is, Gods.
