1 Corinthians 3:4-17

4For whenG3752 1oneG5100 saysG3004, “I amG1510 of PaulG3972,” and anotherG2087, “I am of ApollosG625,” are you not mere 2menG444?

5WhatG5101 thenG3767 is ApollosG625? And whatG5101 is PaulG3972? 3ServantsG1249 throughG1223 whomG3739 you believedG4100, evenG2532 4as the LordG2962 gaveG1325 opportunity to eachG1538 oneG1538. 6 5I plantedG5452, 6ApollosG625 wateredG4222, but 7GodG2316 was causingG837 the growthG837. 7SoG5620 thenG5620 neitherG3777 the one who plantsG5452 norG3777 the one who watersG4222 is anythingG5100, but GodG2316 who causesG837 the growthG837. 8NowG1161 he who plantsG5452 and he who watersG4222 are oneG1520; but eachG1538 will 8receiveG2983 his ownG2398 9rewardG3408 accordingG2596 to his ownG2398 laborG2873. 9For we are God’sG2316 10fellowG4904 workersG4904; you are God’sG2316 11 12fieldG1091, God’sG2316 13buildingG3619.

10AccordingG2596 to 14the graceG5485 of GodG2316 which was givenG1325 to me, likeG5613 a wiseG4680 masterG753 builderG753 15I laidG5087 a foundationG2310, and 16anotherG243 is buildingG2026 on it. But eachG1538 manG1538 must be carefulG991 howG4459 he buildsG2026 on it. 11For noG3762 manG3762 canG1410 layG5087 a 17foundationG2310 otherG243 thanG3844 the one which is laidG2749, whichG3739 is JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 12NowG1161 ifG1487 anyG5100 manG5100 buildsG2026 on the foundationG2310 with goldG5553, silverG694, 18preciousG5093 stonesG3037, woodG3586, hayG5528, strawG2562, 13 19eachG1538 man’sG1538 workG2041 will becomeG1096 evidentG5318; for 20the dayG2250 will showG1213 it becauseG3754 it is to be revealedG601 with fireG4442, and the fireG4442 itselfG846 will testG1381 21the qualityG3697 of eachG1538 man’sG1538 workG2041. 14IfG1487 anyG5100 man’sG5100 workG2041 whichG3739 he has builtG2026 on it remainsG3306, he will 22receiveG2983 a rewardG3408. 15IfG1487 anyG5100 man’sG5100 workG2041 is burnedG2618 up, he will sufferG2210 lossG2210; but he himselfG846 will be savedG4982, yetG1161 23soG3779 as throughG1223 fireG4442.

16 24Do you not knowG3609 that 25you are a 26templeG3485 of GodG2316 and that the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 dwellsG3611 in you? 17IfG1487 anyG5100 manG5100 destroysG5351 the 27templeG3485 of GodG2316, GodG2316 will destroyG5351 him, for the 28templeG3485 of GodG2316 is holyG40, and 29that is whatG3748 you are.
