1 Corinthians 3:10-23
10According to 1the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder 2I laid a foundation, and 3another is building on it. But each person must be careful how he builds on it. 11For no one can lay a 4foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, 135each one’s work will become evident; for 6the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test 7the quality of each one’s work. 14If anyone’s work which he has built on it remains, he will 8receive a reward. 15If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet only 9so as through fire.
1610Do you not know that 11you are a 12temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17If anyone destroys the 13temple of God, God will destroy 14that person; for the 15temple of God is holy, 16and that is what you are.
1817Take care that no one deceives himself. 18If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in 19this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. 19For 20the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the sight of God. For it is written: “He is 21the one who catches the wise by their craftiness”; 20and again, “22The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are useless.” 21So then, 23no one is to be boasting in people. For 24all things belong to you, 2225whether Paul or Apollos or 26Cephas, or the world or 27life or death, or things present or things to come; all things belong to you, 23and 28you belong to Christ, and 29Christ belongs to God.
