1 Corinthians 3

1 And I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual, but as fleshly, as infants in Messiah.

2 I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you weren't yet ready. And even now you are still not ready,

3 for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and living by human standards?

4 For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not merely human?

5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him.

6 I planted. Apollos watered. But God made it grow.

7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who makes it grow.

8 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.

10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one be careful how he builds on it.

11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus (the) Messiah.

12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw;

13 each man's work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man's work is.

14 If any man's work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.

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

16 Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you?

17 If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God's temple is holy, which you are.

18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this age, let him become a fool, that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)

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

20 And again, "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile."

21 Therefore let no one boast about people. 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,

23 and you are Messiah's, and Messiah is God's.
