1 Corinthians 3:9-15

9We are God’s coworkers. You are God’s field. You are God’s building.

10As a skilled and experienced builder, I used the gift  that God gave me to lay the foundation ⌞for that building⌟. However, someone else is building on it. Each person must be careful how he builds on it.

11After all, no one can lay any other foundation than the one that is already laid, and that foundation is Jesus Christ.

12People may build on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw.

13The day will make what each one does clearly visible because fire will reveal it. That fire will determine what kind of work each person has done.

14If what a person has built survives, he will receive a reward.

15If his work is burned up, he will suffer ⌞the loss⌟. However, he will be saved, though it will be like going through a fire.
