1 Corinthians 3:9-17

9For we are God’sG2316 1fellowG4904 workersG4904; you are God’sG2316 2 3fieldG1091, God’sG2316 4buildingG3619.

10AccordingG2596 to 5the graceG5485 of GodG2316 which was givenG1325 to me, likeG5613 a wiseG4680 masterG753 builderG753 6I laidG5087 a foundationG2310, and 7anotherG243 is buildingG2026 onG2026 it. But eachG1538 personG1538 must be carefulG991 howG4459 he buildsG2026 onG2026 it. 11For noG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 layG5087 a 8foundationG2310 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, 13 9eachG1538 one’sG1538 workG2041 will becomeG1096 evidentG5318; for 10the dayG2250 will showG1213 it becauseG3754 it is to be revealedG601 with fireG4442, and the fireG4442 itselfG846 will testG1381 11the qualityG3697 of eachG1538 one’sG1538 workG2041. 14IfG1487 anyone’sG5100 workG2041 whichG3739 he has builtG2026 onG2026 it remainsG3306, he will 12receiveG2983 a rewardG3408. 15IfG1487 anyone’sG5100 workG2041 is burnedG2618 upG2618, he will sufferG2210 lossG2210; but he himselfG846 will be savedG4982, yetG1161 only 13soG3779 as throughG1223 fireG4442.

16 14Do you not knowG3609 that 15you are a 16templeG3485 of GodG2316 and that the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 dwellsG3611 in you? 17IfG1487 anyoneG5100 destroysG5351 the 17templeG3485 of GodG2316, GodG2316 will destroyG5351 18thatG3778 personG3778; for the 19templeG3485 of GodG2316 is holyG40, 20and that is whatG3748 you are.
