1 Corinthians 3:10-23
10According to 1the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder 2I laid a foundation, and 3another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. 11For no man can lay a 4foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, 5precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 136each man’s work will become evident; for 7the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test 8the quality of each man’s work. 14If any man’s work which he has built on it remains, he will 9receive a reward. 15If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet 10so as through fire.
1611Do you not know that 12you are a 13temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17If any man destroys the 14temple of God, God will destroy him, for the 15temple of God is holy, and 16that is what you are.
1817Let no man deceive himself. 18If any man among you thinks that he is wise in 19this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. 19For 20the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, “He is 21the one who catches the wise in their craftiness”; 20and again, “22The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are useless.” 21So then 23let no one boast in men. For 24all things belong to you, 2225whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or 26life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you, 23and 27you belong to Christ; and 28Christ belongs to God.
