1 Corinthians 3 — WEBBE
3Verse 1Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.Verse 2I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, you aren’t ready even now,Verse 3for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions amongst you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?Verse 4For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?Verse 5Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?Verse 6I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.Verse 7So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.Verse 8Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labour.Verse 9For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.Verse 10According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.Verse 11For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.Verse 12But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,Verse 13each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.Verse 14If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.Verse 15If any man’s work is burnt, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.Verse 16Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?Verse 17If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.Verse 18Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise amongst you in this world, let him become a fool that he may become wise.Verse 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”Verse 20And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”Verse 21Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,Verse 22whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,Verse 23and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
