1 Corinthians 3

1AndG2532 IG1473, brethrenG80, couldG1410 notG3756 speakG2980 unto youG4771 asG5613 unto spiritualG4152, butG235 asG5613 unto carnalG4559, even asG5613 unto babesG3516 inG1722 ChristG5547. 2I have fedG4222 youG4771 with milkG1051, andG2532 notG3756 with meatG1033: forG1063 hithertoG3768 ye were not ableG1410 to bear it, neitherG3777 yetG2089 nowG3568 are ye ableG1410.

3ForG1063 ye areG1510 yetG2089 carnalG4559: forG1063 whereasG3699 there is amongG1722 youG4771 envyingG2205, andG2532 strifeG2054, andG2532 divisionsG1370, are yeG1510 notG3780 carnalG4559, andG2532 walkG4043 asG2596 menG444? 4ForG1063 whileG3752 oneG5100 saithG3004, IG1473 amG1510 of PaulG3972; andG1161 anotherG2087, IG1473 am of ApollosG625; are yeG1510 notG3780 carnalG4559?

5WhoG5101 thenG3767 isG1510 PaulG3972, andG1161 whoG5101 is ApollosG625, butG235 ministersG1249 byG1223 whomG3739 ye believedG4100, evenG2532 asG5613 the LordG3588G2962 gave toG1325 every manG1538? 6IG1473 have plantedG5452, ApollosG625 wateredG4222; butG235 GodG3588G2316 gave the increaseG837. 7So thenG5620 neitherG3777 is heG1510 that plantethG5452 any thingG5100, neitherG3777 he that waterethG4222; butG235 GodG2316 that giveth the increaseG837. 8NowG1161 he thatG3588 plantethG5452 andG2532 he thatG3588 waterethG4222 areG1510 oneG1520: andG1161 every manG1538 shall receiveG2983 his ownG2398 rewardG3408 according toG2596 his ownG2398 labourG2873. 9ForG1063 we areG1510 labourers togetherG4904 with GodG2316: ye areG1510 God’sG2316 husbandryG1091, ye are God’sG2316 buildingG3619.

10According toG2596 the graceG3588G5485 of GodG3588G2316 whichG3588 is givenG1325 unto meG1473, asG5613 a wiseG4680 masterbuilderG753, I have laidG5087 the foundationG2310, andG1161 anotherG243 buildeth thereonG2026. ButG1161 letG991 every manG1538 take heedG991 howG4459 he buildeth thereuponG2026. 11ForG1063 otherG243 foundationG2310 canG1410 no manG3762 layG5087 thanG3844 that is laidG2749, whichG3739 isG1510 JesusG2424 ChristG3588G5547. 12NowG1161 ifG1487 any manG5100 buildG2026 uponG1909 thisG3778 foundationG3588G2310 goldG5557, silverG696, preciousG5093 stonesG3037, woodG3586, hayG5528, stubbleG2562; 13Every man’sG1538 workG3588G2041 shall be madeG1096 manifestG5318: forG1063 the dayG2250 shall declare itG1213, becauseG3754 it shall be revealedG601 byG1722 fireG4442; andG2532 the fireG3588G4442 shall tryG1381 every man’sG1538 workG3588G2041 of what sortG3697 it isG1510. 14IfG1487 any man’sG5100 workG3588G2041 abideG3306 whichG3739 he hath built thereuponG2026, he shall receiveG2983 a rewardG3408. 15IfG1487 any man’sG5100 workG3588G2041 shall be burnedG2618, he shall suffer lossG2210: butG1161 he himselfG846 shall be savedG4982; yetG1161 soG3779 asG5613 byG1223 fireG4442.

16Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 ye areG1510 the templeG3485 of GodG2316, andG2532 that the SpiritG3588G4151 of GodG3588G2316 dwellethG3611 inG1722 youG4771? 17IfG1487 any manG5100 defileG5351 the templeG3588G3485 of GodG3588G2316, himG3778 shallG5351 GodG3588G2316 destroyG5351; forG1063 the templeG3485 of GodG3588G2316 isG1510 holyG40, whichG3748 temple yeG4771 areG1510.

18LetG1818 no manG3367 deceiveG1818 himselfG1438. IfG1487 any manG5100 amongG1722 youG4771 seemethG1380 to beG1510 wiseG4680 inG1722 thisG3778 worldG3588G165, let him becomeG1096 a foolG3474, thatG2443 he may beG1096 wiseG4680. 19ForG1063 the wisdomG4678 of thisG3778 worldG3588G2889 isG1510 foolishnessG3472 withG3844 GodG3588G2316. ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, He takethG1405 the wiseG4680 inG1722 their ownG846 craftinessG3588G3834. 20AndG2532 againG3825, The LordG2962 knowethG1097 the thoughtsG3588G1261 of the wiseG4680, thatG3754 they areG1510 vainG3152.

21ThereforeG5620 letG2744 no manG3367 gloryG2744 inG1722 menG444. ForG1063 all thingsG3956 areG1510 yoursG4771; 22WhetherG1535 PaulG3972, orG1535 ApollosG625, orG1535 CephasG2786, orG1535 the worldG2889, orG1535 lifeG2222, orG1535 deathG2288, orG1535 things presentG1764, orG1535 things to comeG3195; allG3956 areG1510 yoursG4771; 23AndG1161 yeG4771 are Christ’sG5547; andG1161 ChristG5547 is God’sG2316.
