1 Corinthians 3 — WBMS
3Verse 1And I, brethren, might not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to fleshly men; as to little children in Christ,Verse 2I gave to you milk to drink, not meat; for ye might not yet under-stand, neither ye may now,Verse 3for yet ye be fleshly. For while envy and strife is among you, whether ye be not fleshly, and ye go after man?Verse 4For when some saith, I am of Paul, and another, But I am of Apollos, whether ye be not [fleshly] men?Verse 5What therefore is Apollos, and what Paul? They be ministers of him, to whom ye have believed; and to each man as God hath given.Verse 6I planted, Apollos moisted, but God gave increasing.Verse 7Therefore neither he that planteth is anything, neither he that moisteth, but God that giveth increasing.Verse 8And he that planteth, and he that moisteth, be one; and each shall take his own meed, after his travail.Verse 9For we be the helpers of God; ye be the earth-tilling of God, ye be the building of God.Verse 10After the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise master carpenter I setted the foundament; and another buildeth above. But each man see, how he buildeth above [or how and what things he buildeth upon].Verse 11For no man may set another foundament, except [or besides] that that is set, which is Christ Jesus.Verse 12For if any man buildeth over [or upon] this foundament, gold, silver, precious stones, sticks, hay, or stubble,Verse 13every man’s work shall be open; for the day of the Lord shall declare, for it shall be showed in fire; the fire shall prove the work of each man, what manner work it is.Verse 14If the work of any man dwell still, which he builded above [or upon], he shall receive meed.Verse 15If any man’s work burn, he shall suffer harm, either impairing; but he shall be safe, so nevertheless as by fire.Verse 16Know ye not, that ye be the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?Verse 17And if any [man] defouleth the temple of God, God shall lose him; for the temple of God is holy, which ye be.Verse 18No man deceive himself. If any man among you is seen to be wise in this world, be he made a fool, that he be wise.Verse 19For the wisdom of this world is folly with God; for it is written, I shall catch wise men in their fell wisdom, [or subtle guile];Verse 20and again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of wise men, for those be vain.Verse 21Therefore no man have glory in men. For all things be yours,Verse 22either Paul, either Apollos, either Cephas, either the world, either life, either death, either things present, either things to coming [or to come]; for all things be yours,Verse 23and ye be of Christ, and Christ is of God.
