1 Corinthians 3 — TOJB
3Verse 1Achim b'Moshiach, I was not able to speak to you as to men of hitkhadshut and ruchaniyut; I had to speak to you as bnei basar, as olalim b'Moshiach.Verse 2Cholov I gave you to drink, not solid okhel (food), for you were not yet able to receive it, but neither yet are you able now.Verse 3For still you are bnei basar (carnally-minded believers). For als (since) there is still kinah and merivah (strife) among you,+are you not bnei basar, by the standards of Bnei Adam?Verse 4For, whenever anyone says, “I am of Sha'ul,” but another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not as anshei shechichim (ordinary men)?Verse 5What then is Apollos? And what is Sha'ul? Klei kodesh ministers of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, through whom you came to emunah, even as to each one a task was given by Adoneinu.Verse 6I planted, Apollos watered, but Hashem gave the increase.Verse 7Therefore, neither is the one planting anything nor the one watering, but it is the One giving the increase — Hashem!Verse 8Now the one planting and the one watering are be'ichud (united), and, each one will receive his own sachar (reward) according to his own amal (toil).+Verse 9For we are fellow po'alim (workers) of Hashem, you are the sadeh Hashem(field of G-d), you are Hashemʼs binyan (building).+Verse 10According to the Chen v'Chesed Hashem having been given to me as a bannai chacham (wise builder), I laid a yesod (foundation), and another builds on it. But, let each one beware how he builds on it.Verse 11For no other yesod other than the one that has been laid can be laid: Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.+Verse 12Now if anyone builds on the yesod with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble,Verse 13The ma'aseh (work) of each bannai will become evident, for, haYom+will make it have its hisgalus, because by Eish (Fire) it is revealed; and the Eish (Fire) itself will test the quality of each oneʼs ma'aseh.+Verse 14If anyoneʼs ma'aseh he built on the yesod will survive,+a sachar (reward)+he will receive;Verse 15If anyoneʼs ma'aseh will be consumed, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved,+yet so as through Eish (fire).Verse 16Do you not have da'as that you are a Heikhal Hashem and the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashem dwells in you?Verse 17If anyone attempts to cause churban to the Heikhal Hashem, G-d will destroy this man, for the Heikhal Hashem is kadosh, and you [plural] are that Heikhal.Verse 18Let no one deceive himself: if anyone presumes to be chacham among you in the Olam Hazeh, let him become a kesil (fool), that he may become chacham.+Verse 19For the chochmah (wisdom) of Olam Hazeh is narrishkait (foolishness) with Hashem. For it has been written, LOCHED CHACHAMIM BE'ARMAM (He catches the wise in their own craftiness).+Verse 20And again, HASHEM YODE'A MACHSH'VOT ADAM KI HEMAH HEVEL (The L-rd knows the thoughts of the wise that they are empty vanity).+Verse 21So let no one boast in Bnei Adam, for all things belong to you,Verse 22Whether Sha'ul or Apollos or Kefa or HaOlam (the world) or Chayyim (Life) or Mavet (Death) or things present or things to come; all things are yours,Verse 23And you are Moshiachʼs and Moshiach is Hashemʼs.
