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.
Καὶ ἐγώ, ἀδελφοί, οὐκ ἠδυνήθην ὑμῖν λαλῆσαι ὡς πνευματικοῖς, ἀλλ᾽ ὡς σαρκικοῖς, ὡς νηπίοις ἐν Χριστῷ.
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;
γάλα ὑμᾶς ἐπότισα καὶ οὐ βρῶμα· οὔπω γὰρ ἠδύνασθε. ἀλλ᾽ οὔτε ἔτι νῦν δύνασθε· ἔτι γὰρ σαρκικοί ἐστε.
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?
ὅπου γὰρ ἐν ὑμῖν ζῆλος καὶ ἔρις καὶ διχοστασίαι, οὐχὶ σαρκικοί ἐστε καὶ κατὰ ἄνθρωπον περιπατεῖτε;
4 For when one says, I am of Paul, and another, I of Apollos, are you not carnal?
ὅταν γὰρ λέγῃ τις, ἐγὼ μέν εἰμι Παύλου, ἕτερος δὲ ἐγὼ Ἀπολλώ, οὐχὶ σαρκικοί ἐστε;
5 Who, then, is Paul? and who is Apollos? Ministers by whom you have believed, even as the Lord gave to each one.
Τίς οὖν ἐστι Παῦλος, τίς δὲ Ἀπολλὼς ἀλλ᾽ ἢ διάκονοι δι᾽ ὧν ἐπιστεύσατε, καὶ ἑκάστῳ ὡς ὁ Κύριος ἔδωκεν;
6 I planted, Apollos watered: but God made to grow.
ἐγὼ ἐφύτευσα, Ἀπολλὼς ἐπότισεν, ἀλλ᾽ ὁ Θεὸς ηὔξανεν·
7 So, neither he that plants nor he that waters is any thing: but God that makes to grow.
ὥστε οὔτε ὁ φυτεύων ἐστί τι οὔτε ὁ ποτίζων, ἀλλ᾽ ὁ αὐξάνων Θεός.
8 But he that plants and he that waters are one; and each one shall receive his own reward, according to his own labor.
ὁ φυτεύων δὲ καὶ ὁ ποτίζων ἕν εἰσιν· ἕκαστος δὲ τὸν ἴδιον μισθὸν λήψεται κατὰ τὸν ἴδιον κόπον.
9 For we are fellow-laborers for God: you are God’s field, you are God’s building.
Θεοῦ γάρ ἐσμεν συνεργοί· Θεοῦ γεώργιον, Θεοῦ οἰκοδομή ἐστε.
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.
Κατὰ τὴν χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ τὴν δοθεῖσάν μοι ὡς σοφὸς ἀρχιτέκτων θεμέλιον τέθεικα, ἄλλος δὲ ἐποικοδομεῖ· ἕκαστος δὲ βλεπέτω πῶς ἐποικοδομεῖ·
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which, is Jesus Christ.
θεμέλιον γὰρ ἄλλον οὐδεὶς δύναται θεῖναι παρὰ τὸν κείμενον, ὅς ἐστιν Ἰησοῦς Χριστός.
12 If any man builds on this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble,
εἰ δέ τις ἐποικοδομεῖ ἐπὶ τὸν θεμέλιον τοῦτον χρυσόν, ἄργυρον, λίθους τιμίους, ξύλα, χόρτον, καλάμην,
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.
ἑκάστου τὸ ἔργον φανερὸν γενήσεται· ἡ γὰρ ἡμέρα δηλώσει· ὅτι ἐν πυρὶ ἀποκαλύπτεται· καὶ ἑκάστου τὸ ἔργον ὁποῖόν ἐστι τὸ πῦρ δοκιμάσει.
14 If any man’s work abide, which he builds on this, he shall receive a reward;
εἴ τινος τὸ ἔργον μενεῖ ὃ ἐπῳκοδόμησε, μισθὸν λήψεται·
15 if any man’s work be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved, yet so, as through fire.
εἴ τινος τὸ ἔργον κατακαήσεται, ζημιωθήσεται, αὐτὸς δὲ σωθήσεται, οὕτως δὲ ὡς διὰ πυρός.
16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
Οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι ναὸς Θεοῦ ἐστε καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα τοῦ Θεοῦ οἰκεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν;
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
εἴ τις τὸν ναὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ φθείρει, φθερεῖ τοῦτον ὁ Θεός· ὁ γὰρ ναὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἅγιός ἐστιν, οἵτινές ἐστε ὑμεῖς.
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)
Μηδεὶς ἑαυτὸν ἐξαπατάτω· εἴ τις δοκεῖ σοφὸς εἶναι ἐν ὑμῖν ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τούτῳ, μωρὸς γενέσθω, ἵνα γένηται σοφός. (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.
ἡ γὰρ σοφία τοῦ κόσμου τούτου μωρία παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ ἐστι. γέγραπται γάρ· ὁ δρασσόμενος τοὺς σοφοὺς ἐν τῇ πανουργίᾳ αὐτῶν·
20 And again: The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
καὶ πάλιν· Κύριος γινώσκει τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς τῶν σοφῶν, ὅτι εἰσὶ μάταιοι.
21 Therefore, let no one glory in men; for all things are yours,
ὥστε μηδεὶς καυχάσθω ἐν ἀνθρώποις· πάντα γὰρ ὑμῶν ἐστιν,
22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come, all are yours:
εἴτε Παῦλος εἴτε Ἀπολλὼς εἴτε Κηφᾶς εἴτε κόσμος εἴτε ζωὴ εἴτε θάνατος εἴτε ἐνεστῶτα εἴτε μέλλοντα, πάντα ὑμῶν ἐστιν,
23 and you are Christ’s: and Christ is God’s.
ὑμεῖς δὲ Χριστοῦ, Χριστὸς δὲ Θεοῦ.
