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.

And I, brothers, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to carnal, as to the childlike 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.

I gave you milk to drink and not solid food, for ye were not yet able. But not even yet 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?

for ye are still carnal. For whereas among you is envy and strife and divisions, are ye not carnal and walk according to man?

4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

For while one may say, 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?

Who therefore is Paul and who is Apollos? But rather helpers through whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to each man.

6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused growth.

7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

So then neither is he who plants anything, nor he who waters, but God who causes growth.

8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

Now he who plants and he who waters are one, but each man will receive his own payment according to his own labor.

9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.

For we are co-workmen of God. Ye are a tillage of God, an edifice of God.

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.

According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master builder, I laid a foundation and another man is building on it. But let each man take heed how he is building on it.

11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

For no man can lay another foundation besides that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

And if any man builds upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

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.

each man's work will become manifest. For the day will make it known, because it is revealed by fire. And the fire will test each man's work of what kind it is.

14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

If any man's work that he built on will remain, he will receive benefit.

15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

If any man's work will be burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but so as through fire.

16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

Know ye not that ye are a temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells 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.

If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy this man, 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. (aiōn g165)

Let not one man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)

19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, He who catches the wise in their craftiness,

20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

and again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise that they are vain.

21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;

Therefore let not one man boast 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;

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things coming, all are yours,

23 And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.

and ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
