1 Corinthians 3:9-15

9For we are God’s coworkers. You are God’s field, God’s building.

10According to God’s grace that was given to me, I have laid a foundation as a skilled master builder, and another builds on it. But each one is to be careful how he builds on it.

11For no one can lay any foundation other than what has been laid down. That foundation is Jesus Christ.

12If anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,

13each one’s work will become obvious. For the day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire; the fire will test the quality of each one’s work.

14If anyone’s work that he has built survives, he will receive a reward.

15If anyone’s work is burned up, he will experience loss, but he himself will be saved  — but only as through fire.
