1 Corinthians 3

1 And I, my Brethren, could not talk with you, as with spiritual persons, but as with the carnal, as with babes in Messiah.

And I could not speake vnto you, brethren, as vnto spirituall men, but as vnto carnall, euen as vnto babes in Christ.

2 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.

I gaue you milke to drinke, and not meat: for yee were not yet able to beare it, neither yet nowe are yee able.

3 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?

For yee are yet carnall: for whereas there is among you enuying, and strife, and diuisions, are ye not carnall, and walke as men?

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

For when one sayeth, I am Pauls, and another, I am Apollos, are yee not carnall?

5 For, who is Paul, or who is Apollos, but the ministers by whom ye believed, each one as the Lord gave to him?

Who is Paul then? and who is Apollos, but the ministers by whome yee beleeued, and as the Lord gaue to euery man?

6 I planted, and Apollos watered; but God produced the growth.

I haue planted, Apollos watred, but God gaue the increase.

7 Not therefore he that planted, is to be accounted of, nor he that watered, but God who produced the growth.

So then, neither is hee that planteth any thing, neither hee that watreth, but God that giueth the increase.

8 And he that planted, and he that watered are on a par; each receiveth his reward, according to his labor.

And he that planteth, and he that watreth, are one, and euery man shall receiue his wages, according to his labour.

9 For we labor with God: and ye are God's husbandry, and God's edifice.

For we together are Gods labourers: yee are Gods husbandrie, and Gods building.

10 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.

According to the grace of God giuen to mee, as a skilfull master builder, I haue laide the foundation, and another buildeth thereon: but let euery man take heede how he buildeth vpon it.

11 For any other foundation can no man lay, different from that which is laid, which is Jesus Messiah.

For other foundation can no man laie, then that which is laied, which is Iesus Christ.

12 And if any one buildeth on this foundation, either gold, or silver, or precious stones, or wood, or hay, or stubble;

And if any man builde on this foundation, golde, siluer, precious stones, timber, haye, or stubble,

13 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.

Euery mans worke shalbe made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shalbe reueiled by the fire: and the fire shall trie euery mans worke of what sort it is.

14 And that builder whose work shall endure, will receive his reward.

If any mans worke, that he hath built vpon, abide, he shall receiue wages.

15 And he, whose work shall burn up, will suffer loss; yet himself will escape; but it will be, as from the fire.

If any mans worke burne, he shall lose, but he shalbe saued himselfe: neuerthelesse yet as it were by the fire.

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

Knowe ye not that ye are the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

17 Whoever shall mar the temple of God, God will mar him: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

If any man destroy the Temple of God, him shall God destroy: for the Temple of God is holy, which ye are.

18 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)

Let no man deceiue himselfe: If any man among you seeme to be wise in this world, let him be a foole, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)

19 For the wisdom of this world is fatuity with God: for it is written, He catcheth the wise in their own craftiness.

For the wisdome of this worlde is foolishnesse with God: for it is written, He catcheth the wise in their owne craftinesse.

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

And againe, The Lord knoweth that the thoughtes of the wise be vaine.

21 Wherefore, let no one glory in men: for all things are yours;

Therefore let no man reioyce 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 things are yours:

Whether it be Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death: whether they be things present, or thinges to come, euen all are yours,

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

And ye Christes, and Christ Gods.
