1 Corinthians 3:9-17

9We are coworkers belonging to God. You are God’s field, God’s building.

10According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master-builder I laid a foundation, but someone else builds on it. And each one must be careful how he builds.

11For no one can lay any foundation other than what is being laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12If anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,

13each builder’s work will be plainly seen, for the Day will make it clear, because it will be revealed by fire. And the fire will test what kind of work each has done.

14If what someone has built survives, he will receive a reward.

15If someone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

16Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

17If someone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, which is what you are.
