1 Corinthians 3:3-17

3for you are stillG2089 fleshlyG4559. For sinceG3699 there is 1jealousyG2205 and strifeG2054 amongG1722 you, are you not fleshlyG4559, and are you not walkingG4043 2likeG2596 ordinary peopleG444? 4For whenG3752 3oneG5100 personG5100 saysG3004, “I amG1510 4with PaulG3972,” and anotherG2087, “I am 5with ApollosG625,” are you not ordinary 6peopleG444?

5WhatG5101 thenG3767 is ApollosG625? And whatG5101 is PaulG3972? 7ServantsG1249 throughG1223 whomG3739 you believedG4100, evenG2532 8as the LordG2962 gaveG1325 opportunity to eachG1538 oneG1538. 69I plantedG5452, 10ApollosG625 wateredG4222, but 11GodG2316 was causingG837 theG837 growthG837. 7SoG5620 thenG5620 neitherG3777 the one who plantsG5452 norG3777 the one who watersG4222 is anythingG5100, but GodG2316 who causesG837 theG837 growthG837. 8NowG1161 the one who plantsG5452 and the one who watersG4222 are oneG1520; but eachG1538 will 12receiveG2983 his ownG2398 13rewardG3408 accordingG2596 to his ownG2398 laborG2873. 9For we are God’sG2316 14fellowG4904 workersG4904; you are God’sG2316 1516fieldG1091, God’sG2316 17buildingG3619.

10AccordingG2596 to 18the graceG5485 of GodG2316 which was givenG1325 to me, likeG5613 a wiseG4680 masterG753 builderG753 19I laidG5087 a foundationG2310, and 20anotherG243 is buildingG2026 onG2026 it. But eachG1538 personG1538 must be carefulG991 howG4459 he buildsG2026 onG2026 it. 11For noG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 layG5087 a 21foundationG2310 otherG243 thanG3844 the one which is laidG2749, whichG3739 is JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 12NowG1161 ifG1487 anyoneG5100 buildsG2026 on the foundationG2310 with goldG5553, silverG694, preciousG5093 stonesG3037, woodG3586, hayG5528, or strawG2562, 1322eachG1538 one’sG1538 workG2041 will becomeG1096 evidentG5318; for 23the dayG2250 will showG1213 it becauseG3754 it is to be revealedG601 with fireG4442, and the fireG4442 itselfG846 will testG1381 24the qualityG3697 of eachG1538 one’sG1538 workG2041. 14IfG1487 anyone’sG5100 workG2041 whichG3739 he has builtG2026 onG2026 it remainsG3306, he will 25receiveG2983 a rewardG3408. 15IfG1487 anyone’sG5100 workG2041 is burnedG2618 upG2618, he will sufferG2210 lossG2210; but he himselfG846 will be savedG4982, yetG1161 only 26soG3779 as throughG1223 fireG4442.

1627Do you not knowG3609 that 28you are a 29templeG3485 of GodG2316 and that the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 dwellsG3611 in you? 17IfG1487 anyoneG5100 destroysG5351 the 30templeG3485 of GodG2316, GodG2316 will destroyG5351 31thatG3778 personG3778; for the 32templeG3485 of GodG2316 is holyG40, 33and that is whatG3748 you are.
