1 Corinthians 3:9-23

9For we are God’s 1fellow workers; you are God’s 23field, God’s 4building.

10According to 5the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder 6I laid a foundation, and 7another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. 11For no man can lay a 8foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, 9precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 1310each man’s work will become evident; for 11the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test 12the quality of each man’s work. 14If any man’s work which he has built on it remains, he will 13receive a reward. 15If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet 14so as through fire.

1615Do you not know that 16you are a 17temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17If any man destroys the 18temple of God, God will destroy him, for the 19temple of God is holy, and 20that is what you are.

1821Let no man deceive himself. 22If any man among you thinks that he is wise in 23this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. 19For 24the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, “He is 25the one who catches the wise in their craftiness”; 20and again, “26The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are useless.” 21So then 27let no one boast in men. For 28all things belong to you, 2229whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or 30life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you, 23and 31you belong to Christ; and 32Christ belongs to God.
