New American Standard Bible 1995
1 Corinthians 3:11-23
11For no man can lay a 1foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, 2precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 133each man’s work will become evident; for 4the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test 5the quality of each man’s work. 14If any man’s work which he has built on it remains, he will 6receive a reward. 15If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet 7so as through fire.
168Do you not know that 9you are a 10temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17If any man destroys the 11temple of God, God will destroy him, for the 12temple of God is holy, and 13that is what you are.
1814Let no man deceive himself. 15If any man among you thinks that he is wise in 16this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. 19For 17the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, “He is 18the one who catches the wise in their craftiness”; 20and again, “19The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are useless.” 21So then 20let no one boast in men. For 21all things belong to you, 2222whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or 23life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you, 23and 24you belong to Christ; and 25Christ belongs to God.
