1 Corinthians 3

1 And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly — as to babes in Christ;

And I, brethren, was not able to speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even babes in Christ.

2 with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for ye were not yet able, but not even yet are ye now able,

I have fed you with milk, not with meat; for you were not yet able. But ye are not now yet able:

3 for yet ye are fleshly, for where [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and in the manner of men do walk?

for ye are yet carnal. For where there are envy and strife among you, are you not carnal, and walking about according to man?

4 for when one may say, 'I, indeed, am of Paul;' and another, 'I — of Apollos;' are ye not fleshly?

For when one may say, I am indeed of Paul; another, I am of Apollos; are you not men?

5 Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but ministrants through whom ye did believe, and to each as the Lord gave?

Then what is Apollos? and what is Paul? But ministers through whom ye believed; even as the Lord gave to each one.

6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;

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

7 so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth — God;

So neither is the one planting, nor the one watering anything, but God the one giving the increase.

8 and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each his own reward shall receive, according to his own labour,

But he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and each one shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.

9 for of God we are fellow-workmen; God's tillage, God's building ye are.

For we are God's fellow-laborers; ye are God's farm; ye are God's building.

10 According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, a foundation I have laid, and another doth build on [it],

According to the grace of God which was given unto me, I as a wise architect, laid the foundation; and another builds on it. Let each one take heed how he builds.

11 for other foundation no one is able to lay except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ;

For other foundation no one is able to lay beside the one which is laid, who is Jesus Christ.

12 and if any one doth build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw —

But if any one builds upon the foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

13 of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare [it], because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove;

the work of each will be made manifest: for the day will reveal it, because it is revealed by fire; and the same fire will try the work of each what soil it is.

14 if of any one the work doth remain that he built on [it], a wage he shall receive;

And if the work of any one which he builds, abides, he will receive a reward:

15 if of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; and himself shall be saved, but so as through fire.

But if the work of any one shall be burnt up, he shall suffer loss; but himself shall be saved, but as through the fire.

16 have ye not known that ye are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God doth dwell in you?

Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you?

17 if any one the sanctuary of God doth waste, him shall God waste; for the sanctuary of God is holy, the which ye are.

If any one destroys the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which ye are.

18 Let no one deceive himself; if any one doth seem to be wise among you in this age — let him become a fool, that he may become wise, (aiōn g165)

Let no one deceive himself. If any one seems to be wise among you in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)

19 for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it hath been written, 'Who is taking the wise in their craftiness;'

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

20 and again, 'The Lord doth know the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.'

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

21 So then, let no one glory in men, for all things are yours,

So let no one boast among 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 about to be — all are yours,

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come.

23 and ye [are] Christ's, and Christ [is] God's.

All things are yours; and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
