1 Corinthians 3:11-23
11For no one can lay a 1foundation 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, 132each one’s work will become evident; for 3the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test 4the quality of each one’s work. 14If anyone’s work which he has built on it remains, he will 5receive a reward. 15If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet only 6so as through fire.
167Do you not know that 8you are a 9temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17If anyone destroys the 10temple of God, God will destroy 11that person; for the 12temple of God is holy, 13and that is what you are.
1814Take care that no one deceives himself. 15If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in 16this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. 19For 17the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the sight of God. For it is written: “He is 18the one who catches the wise by their craftiness”; 20and again, “19The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are useless.” 21So then, 20no one is to be boasting in people. For 21all things belong to you, 2222whether Paul or Apollos or 23Cephas, or the world or 24life or death, or things present or things to come; all things belong to you, 23and 25you belong to Christ, and 26Christ belongs to God.
