1 Corinthians 3:1-13 ▼

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

13 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.
