1 Corinthians 3:11-23

11For otherG243 foundationG2310 can no man lay than that which isG1510 laidG5087, which isG1510 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 12But if any man buildeth on the foundationG2310 goldG5553, silverG694, costly stonesG3037, woodG3586, hay, stubble; 13each man’sG1538 workG2041 shall beG1510 made manifest: for the dayG2250 shall declare it, because it isG1510 revealedG601 in fireG4442; and the fireG4442 itself shall prove each man’sG1538 workG2041 of what sort it isG1510. 14If any man’s workG2041 shall abideG3306 which he builtG2026 thereon, he shall receiveG2983 a rewardG3408. 15If any man’s workG2041 shall be burnedG2618, he shall sufferG2210 lossG2210: but he himself shall be savedG4982; yet soG3779 as through fireG4442.

16Know ye not that ye areG1510 a templeG3485 of GodG2316, and that the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 dwelleth in you? 17If any manG3778 destroyeth the templeG3485 of GodG2316, him shall GodG2316 destroy; for the templeG3485 of GodG2316 isG1510 holyG40, and such areG1510 ye.

18Let no manG3778 deceiveG1818 himself. If any manG3778 thinketh that he isG1510 wiseG4680 among you in this world, let him becomeG1096 a fool, that he may becomeG1096 wiseG4680. 19For the wisdomG4678 of this worldG2889 isG1510 foolishnessG3472 with GodG2316. For it isG1510 writtenG1125, He that taketh the wiseG4680 in their craftinessG3834: 20and againG3825, The LordG2962 knoweth the reasonings of the wiseG4680, that they areG1510 vain. 21Wherefore let no oneG3367 glory in menG444. For all thingsG3956 areG1510 yours; 22whether PaulG3972, or ApollosG625, or CephasG2786, or the worldG2889, or lifeG2222, or deathG2288, or thingsG3956 presentG1764, or thingsG3956 to comeG3195; all are yours; 23and ye are Christ’s; and ChristG5547 is God’s.
