1 Corinthians 3:10-17

10AccordingG2596 to 1the graceG5485 of GodG2316 which was givenG1325 to me, likeG5613 a wiseG4680 masterG753 builderG753 2I laidG5087 a foundationG2310, and 3anotherG243 is buildingG2026 on it. But eachG1538 manG1538 must be carefulG991 howG4459 he buildsG2026 on it. 11For noG3762 manG3762 canG1410 layG5087 a 4foundationG2310 otherG243 thanG3844 the one which is laidG2749, whichG3739 is JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 12NowG1161 ifG1487 anyG5100 manG5100 buildsG2026 on the foundationG2310 with goldG5553, silverG694, 5preciousG5093 stonesG3037, woodG3586, hayG5528, strawG2562, 13 6eachG1538 man’sG1538 workG2041 will becomeG1096 evidentG5318; for 7the dayG2250 will showG1213 it becauseG3754 it is to be revealedG601 with fireG4442, and the fireG4442 itselfG846 will testG1381 8the qualityG3697 of eachG1538 man’sG1538 workG2041. 14IfG1487 anyG5100 man’sG5100 workG2041 whichG3739 he has builtG2026 on it remainsG3306, he will 9receiveG2983 a rewardG3408. 15IfG1487 anyG5100 man’sG5100 workG2041 is burnedG2618 up, he will sufferG2210 lossG2210; but he himselfG846 will be savedG4982, yetG1161 10soG3779 as throughG1223 fireG4442.

16 11Do you not knowG3609 that 12you are a 13templeG3485 of GodG2316 and that the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 dwellsG3611 in you? 17IfG1487 anyG5100 manG5100 destroysG5351 the 14templeG3485 of GodG2316, GodG2316 will destroyG5351 him, for the 15templeG3485 of GodG2316 is holyG40, and 16that is whatG3748 you are.
