1 Corinthians 3:9-23

9For we are God’s 1fellow workers; you are God’s 23field, God’s 4building.

10According to 5the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder 6I laid a foundation, and 7another is building on it. But each person must be careful how he builds on it. 11For no one can lay a 8foundation 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, 139each one’s work will become evident; for 10the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test 11the quality of each one’s work. 14If anyone’s work which he has built on it remains, he will 12receive a reward. 15If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet only 13so as through fire.

1614Do you not know that 15you are a 16temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17If anyone destroys the 17temple of God, God will destroy 18that person; for the 19temple of God is holy, 20and that is what you are.

1821Take care that no one deceives himself. 22If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in 23this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. 19For 24the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the sight of God. For it is written: “He is 25the one who catches the wise by their craftiness”; 20and again, “26The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are useless.” 21So then, 27no one is to be boasting in people. For 28all things belong to you, 2229whether Paul or Apollos or 30Cephas, or the world or 31life or death, or things present or things to come; all things belong to you, 23and 32you belong to Christ, and 33Christ belongs to God.
