1 Corinthians 3

1 I, therefore, brethren, have not been able to speak unto you, as unto men of the Spirit, but as unto men of the flesh—as unto babes in Christ: —

I also, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual men, but as those who are not spiritual, as to babes in Christ.

2 With milk, have I fed you, not, with meat; for, not yet, have ye been able; —nay! not [yet] even now, are ye able,

I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able to bear it. Nor indeed are ye able even now;

3 For ye are yet fleshly. For, whereas there are, among you, jealousy and strife, are ye not, fleshly, and, after the manner of men, walking?

for ye are yet unspiritual. For while there is among you rivalry and strife, are ye not unspiritual, and walking after the manner of men?

4 For, as soon as one beginneth to say—I, indeed, am of Paul! and another—I, of Apollos! are ye not, men?

For while one saith, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not [[like common]] men?

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

Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but ministers through whom ye believed, and that as the Lord gave to each?

6 I, planted, Apollos, watered, —but, God, caused to, grow.

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

7 So that, [neither] is he that planteth anything, nor, he that watereth, —but, God, who causeth to, grow.

So then, neither he that planteth nor he that watereth is anything, but God that giveth the growth.

8 Moreover, he that planteth and he that watereth, are one: —howbeit, each one, his own reward, shall receive, —according to his own labour.

And he that planteth and he that watereth are one; and each will receive his own reward, according to his own labor.

9 For we are, God’s, fellow-workmen: ye are, God’s, farm, God’s building.

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

10 According to the favour of God which hath been given unto me, as a wise master-builder, I laid a foundation, whereas, another, is building thereon; but, let each one, see, how he buildeth thereon;

According to the grace of God bestowed on me, I, as a skilful master-builder, have laid the foundation; and another buildeth thereon; but let every one take heed, how he buildeth thereon.

11 For, other foundation, can, no one, lay, than that which is lying, which is, Jesus Christ.

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

12 But, if anyone is building, upon the foundation—gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

But if any one build upon this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble,

13 Each one’s work, shall be made, manifest; for, the day, will make it plain, because, by fire, is it to be revealed, —and, each one’s work, of what sort it is, the fire itself will prove: —

the work of every one will be made manifest; for the day will show it; because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will prove what every one's work is.

14 If, anyone’s work, shall abide, which he built, a reward, shall he receive, —

If the work which any one built thereon remaineth, he will receive reward;

15 If, anyone’s work, shall be burnt up, he shall suffer loss, but shall, himself, be saved—though, thus, as through fire.

if any one's work shall be burned up, he will lose the reward; but he will be saved himself, yet as one escaping through fire.

16 Know ye not that ye are a shrine of God, and that the Spirit of God within you doth dwell?

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

17 If anyone doth mar the shrine of God, God, will mar him; for the shrine of God is holy, —and such are ye.

If any one defaceth the temple of God, God will deface him; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.

18 Let no one be deceiving himself: —if anyone imagineth himself to be wise among you, in this age, let him become foolish, that he may become wise; (aiōn g165)

Let no one deceive himself; if any one thinketh himself wise among you in this world, 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 that taketh the wise in their knavery, —

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written: “He that taketh the wise in their craftiness;”

20 And again—The Lord taketh note of the speculations of the wise, that they are vain.

and again: “The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.”

21 So then, let, no one, be boasting in men; for, all things, are yours—

So then 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 are yours;

23 And, ye, are Christ’s, —and, Christ, is, God’s.

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