1 Corinthians 3:1-13 ▼

1 And I, brethren, was not able to speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even babes in Christ.

2 I have fed you with milk, not with meat; for you were not yet able. But ye are not now yet able:

3 for ye are yet carnal. For where there are envy and strife among you, are you not carnal, and walking about according to man?

4 For when one may say, I am indeed of Paul; another, I am of Apollos; are you not men?

5 Then what is Apollos? and what is Paul? But ministers through whom ye believed; even as the Lord gave to each one.

6 I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

7 So neither is the one planting, nor the one watering anything, but God the one giving the increase.

8 But he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and each one shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.

9 For we are God's fellow-laborers; ye are God's farm; ye are God's building.

10 According to the grace of God which was given unto me, I as a wise architect, laid the foundation; and another builds on it. Let each one take heed how he builds.

11 For other foundation no one is able to lay beside the one which is laid, who is Jesus Christ.

12 But if any one builds upon the foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

13 the work of each will be made manifest: for the day will reveal it, because it is revealed by fire; and the same fire will try the work of each what soil it is.
