1 Corinthians 3:5-13

5WhatG5101 thenG3767 is ApollosG625? And whatG5101 is PaulG3972? 1ServantsG1249 throughG1223 whomG3739 you believedG4100, evenG2532 2as the LordG2962 gaveG1325 opportunity to eachG1538 oneG1538. 6 3I plantedG5452, 4ApollosG625 wateredG4222, but 5GodG2316 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 6receiveG2983 his ownG2398 7rewardG3408 accordingG2596 to his ownG2398 laborG2873. 9For we are God’sG2316 8fellowG4904 workersG4904; you are God’sG2316 9 10fieldG1091, God’sG2316 11buildingG3619.

10AccordingG2596 to 12the graceG5485 of GodG2316 which was givenG1325 to me, likeG5613 a wiseG4680 masterG753 builderG753 13I laidG5087 a foundationG2310, and 14anotherG243 is buildingG2026 on it. But eachG1538 manG1538 must be carefulG991 howG4459 he buildsG2026 on it. 11For noG3762 manG3762 canG1410 layG5087 a 15foundationG2310 otherG243 thanG3844 the one which is laidG2749, whichG3739 is JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 12NowG1161 ifG1487 anyG5100 manG5100 buildsG2026 on the foundationG2310 with goldG5553, silverG694, 16preciousG5093 stonesG3037, woodG3586, hayG5528, strawG2562, 13 17eachG1538 man’sG1538 workG2041 will becomeG1096 evidentG5318; for 18the dayG2250 will showG1213 it becauseG3754 it is to be revealedG601 with fireG4442, and the fireG4442 itselfG846 will testG1381 19the qualityG3697 of eachG1538 man’sG1538 workG2041.
