< 1 Corinthians 3 >

1 And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you, as to spiritual men, but as to those who are carnal, as to babes in Christ.
And Y, britheren, myyte not speke to you as to spiritual men, but as to fleischli men;
2 I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you were not then able to bear it; indeed, not even now are you able;
as to litle children in Crist, Y yaf to you mylk drynke, not mete; for ye myyten not yit, nether ye moun now, for yit ye ben fleischli.
3 for you are yet carnal. For, since envy and strife and divisions are among you, are you not carnal, and do you not walk as men?
For while strijf is among you, whether ye ben not fleischli, and ye gon aftir man?
4 For when one says, I am of Paul, and another, I of Apollos, are you not carnal?
For whanne summe seith, Y am of Poul, another, But Y am of Apollo, whethir ye ben not men? What therfor is Apollo, and what Poul?
5 Who, then, is Paul? and who is Apollos? Ministers by whom you have believed, even as the Lord gave to each one.
Thei ben mynystris of hym, to whom ye han bileuyd; and to ech man as God hath youun.
6 I planted, Apollos watered: but God made to grow.
Y plauntide, Apollo moystide, but God yaf encreessyng.
7 So, neither he that plants nor he that waters is any thing: but God that makes to grow.
Therfor nether he that plauntith is ony thing, nethir he that moistith, but God that yiueth encreessyng.
8 But he that plants and he that waters are one; and each one shall receive his own reward, according to his own labor.
And he that plauntith, and he that moistith, ben oon; and ech schal take his owne mede, aftir his trauel.
9 For we are fellow-laborers for God: you are God’s field, you are God’s building.
For we ben the helperis of God; ye ben the erthetiliyng of God, ye ben the bildyng of God.
10 According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds on this. But let every one take heed how he builds on this.
Aftir the grace `of God that is youun to me, as a wise maistir carpenter Y settide the foundement; and another bildith aboue. But ech man se, hou he bildith aboue.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which, is Jesus Christ.
For no man may sette another foundement, outtakun that that is sett, which is Crist Jhesus.
12 If any man builds on this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble,
For if ony bildith ouer this foundement, gold, siluer, preciouse stoonys, stickis, hey, or stobil, euery mannus werk schal be open;
13 each man’s work shall be made manifest; for the day shall make it manifest, for it is revealed with fire: and the fire shall try each man’s work, what sort it is.
for the dai of the Lord schal declare, for it schal be schewid in fier; the fier schal preue the werk of ech man, what maner werk it is.
14 If any man’s work abide, which he builds on this, he shall receive a reward;
If the werk of ony man dwelle stille, which he bildide aboue, he schal resseyue mede.
15 if any man’s work be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved, yet so, as through fire.
If ony mannus werk brenne, he schal suffre harm; but he schal be saaf, so netheles as bi fier.
16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
Witen ye not, that ye ben the temple of God, and the spirit of God dwellith in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
And if ony defoulith the temple of God, God schal leese hym; for the temple of God is hooli, which ye ben.
18 Let no one deceive himself: if any one among you is considered as wise in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
No man disseyue hym silf. If ony man among you is seyn to be wiys in this world, be he maad a fool, that he be wijs. (aiōn g165)
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written: He takes the wise in their own craftiness.
For the wisdom of this world is foli anentis God; for it is writun, Y schal catche wise men in her fel wisdom;
20 And again: The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
and eft, The Lord knowith the thouytis of wise men, for tho ben veyn.
21 Therefore, let no one glory in men; for all things are yours,
Therfor no man haue glorie in men.
22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come, all are yours:
For alle thingis ben youre, ethir Poul, ether Apollo, ether Cefas, ether the world, ether lijf, ether deth, ether thingis present, ethir thingis to comynge; for alle thingis ben youre,
23 and you are Christ’s: and Christ is God’s.
and ye ben of Crist, and Crist is of God.
