1Corinthians:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And I ,
brethren ,
have not been able to speak to you as to spiritual ,
but as to fleshly ;
as to babes in Christ .
*
I have given you milk to drink ,
not meat ,
for ye have not yet been able ,
nor indeed are ye yet able ;
*
for ye are yet carnal .
For whereas [
there are ]
among you emulation and strife ,
are ye not carnal ,
and walk according to man ?
*
For when one says ,
I am of Paul ,
and another ,
I of Apollos ,
are ye not men ?
*
Who then is Apollos ,
and who Paul ?
Ministering servants ,
through whom ye have believed ,
and as the Lord has given to each .
*
I have planted ;
Apollos watered ;
but God has given the increase .
*
So that neither the planter is anything ,
nor the waterer ;
but God the giver of the increase .
*
But the planter and the waterer are one ;
but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labour .
*
For we are God '
s fellow-workmen ;
ye are God '
s husbandry ,
God '
s building .
*
According to the grace of God which has been given to me ,
as a wise architect ,
I have laid the foundation ,
but another builds upon it .
But let each see how he builds upon it .
*
For other foundation can no man lay besides that which [
is ]
laid ,
which is Jesus Christ .
*
Now if any one build upon [
this ]
foundation ,
gold ,
silver ,
precious stones ,
wood ,
grass ,
straw ,
*
the work of each shall be made manifest ;
for the day shall declare [
it ],
because it is revealed in fire ;
and the fire shall try the work of each what it is .
*
If the work of any one which he has built upon [
the foundation ]
shall abide ,
he shall receive a reward .
*
If the work of any one shall be consumed ,
he shall suffer loss ,
but he shall be saved ,
but so as through [
the ]
fire .
*
Do ye not know that ye are [
the ]
temple of God ,
and [
that ]
the Spirit of God dwells in you ?
*
If any one corrupt the temple of God ,
him shall God destroy ;
for the temple of God is holy ,
and such are ye .
*
Let no one deceive himself :
if any one thinks himself to be wise among you in this world ,
let him become foolish ,
that he may be wise .
*
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God ;
for it is written ,
He who takes the wise in their craftiness .
*
And again , [
The ]
Lord knows the reasonings of the wise that they are vain .
*
So that let no one boast in men ;
for all things are yours .
*
Whether Paul ,
or Apollos ,
or Cephas ,
or [
the ]
world ,
or life ,
or death ,
or things present ,
or things coming ,
all are yours ;
*
and ye [
are ]
Christ '
s ,
and Christ [
is ]
God '
s .
