1 Corinthians 3:1-15 ▼

1 And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you? as to spiritual but as to fleshly—as to infants in Christ.

2 I gave you? milk to drink, not food, for you? were not yet able. But now you? are still not able,

3 for you? are still fleshly. For where jealousy and strife are among you?, are you? not fleshly and walking according to man?

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

5 Who then is Apollos? And who is Paul? Servants through whom you? believed, even as the Lord gave to each.

6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth.

7 So neither the one planting nor the one watering is anything, but only God, the One giving growth.

8 Now the one planting and the one watering are one, and 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 having been given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, but another is building upon it. But let each one take heed how he builds upon it.

11 For no one is able to lay another foundation besides the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 Now if anyone builds upon the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,

13 the work of each will become manifest, for the day will make it evident, because it is revealed in fire, and the fire itself will prove the work of each, what sort it is.

14 If the work of anyone that he built up will remain, he will receive a reward.

15 If the work of anyone will be burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
