< 1 Corinthians 3 >

1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ.
And I, my Brethren, could not talk with you, as with spiritual persons, but as with the carnal, as with babes in Messiah.
2 I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able [to bear it]: nay, not even now are ye able;
I gave you milk, and did not give you solid food: for ye were not then able to receive it; and even now, ye are not able.
3 for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk after the manner of men?
For ye are still in the flesh. For, as there are among you envying, and contention, and parties, are ye not carnal, and walking in the flesh?
4 For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not men?
For, while one of you saith, I am of Paul; and another saith, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
5 What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom ye believed; and each as the Lord gave to him.
For, who is Paul, or who is Apollos, but the ministers by whom ye believed, each one as the Lord gave to him?
6 I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
I planted, and Apollos watered; but God produced the growth.
7 So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
Not therefore he that planted, is to be accounted of, nor he that watered, but God who produced the growth.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
And he that planted, and he that watered are on a par; each receiveth his reward, according to his labor.
9 For we are God’s fellow-workers: ye are God’s husbandry, God’s building.
For we labor with God: and ye are God's husbandry, and God's edifice.
10 According to the grace of God which was given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder I laid a foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let each man take heed how he buildeth thereon.
According to the grace of God which was given me, I laid the foundation like a wise architect; and another buildeth on it. But let each one see, how he buildeth on it.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
For any other foundation can no man lay, different from that which is laid, which is Jesus Messiah.
12 But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble;
And if any one buildeth on this foundation, either gold, or silver, or precious stones, or wood, or hay, or stubble;
13 each man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man’s work of what sort it is.
the work of each will be exposed to view; for the day will expose it; because it is to be tested by fire; and the fire will disclose the work of each, of what sort it is.
14 If any man’s work shall abide which he built thereon, he shall receive a reward.
And that builder whose work shall endure, will receive his reward.
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as through fire.
And he, whose work shall burn up, will suffer loss; yet himself will escape; but it will be, as from the fire.
16 Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Know ye not, that ye are the temple of God? and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.
Whoever shall mar the temple of God, God will mar him: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man thinketh that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)
Let no one deceive himself. Whoever among you thinketh that he is wise in this world, 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 is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness:
For the wisdom of this world is fatuity with God: for it is written, He catcheth the wise in their own craftiness.
20 and again, The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.
And again: The Lord knoweth the devices of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Wherefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours;
Wherefore, let no one glory 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 to come; all things are yours:
23 and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
and ye are Messiah's, and Messiah is God's.
