1Corinthians:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And I ,
brothers ,
could not speak to you as to spiritual ones ,
but as to fleshly ,
as to babes in Christ .
*
I have fed you with milk and not with solid food ,
for you were not yet able [
to bear it ];
nor are you able even now .
*
For you are yet carnal .
For in that [
there is ]
among you envyings and strife and divisions ,
are you not carnal ,
and [
do you not ]
walk according to men ?
*
For while one says ,
I am of Paul ;
and another ,
I [
am ]
of Apollos ;
are you not carnal ?
*
Who then is Paul ,
and who [
is ]
Apollos ,
but ministers by whom you believed ,
even as the Lord gave to each ?
*
I have planted ,
Apollos watered ,
but God gave the increase .
*
So then neither is he who plants anything ,
nor he who waters ,
but God who gives the increase .
*
So he planting ,
and he watering ,
are one ,
and each one shall receive [
his ]
own reward according to [
his ]
own labor .
*
For of God we are fellow-workers ,
a field of God ,
and you are a building of God .
*
According to the grace of God which is given to me ,
as a wise master builder ,
I have laid the foundation ,
and another builds [
on it ].
But let every man be careful how he builds [
on it ].
*
For any other foundation can no one lay than the one ]
being laid ,
who is Jesus Christ .
*
And if anyone builds on this foundation gold ,
silver ,
precious stones ,
wood ,
hay ,
stubble ,
*
each one '
s work shall be revealed .
For the Day shall declare [
it ],
because it shall be revealed by fire ;
and the fire shall try each one '
s work as to what kind it is .
*
If anyone '
s work which he built remains ,
he shall receive a reward .
*
If anyone '
s work shall be burned up ,
he shall suffer loss .
But he shall be saved ,
yet so as by fire .
*
Do you not know that you are a temple of God ,
and [
that ]
the Spirit of God dwells in you ?
*
If anyone defiles the temple of God ,
God shall destroy him .
For the temple of God is holy ,
which you are .
*
Let no one deceive himself .
If anyone among you seems to be wise in this world ,
let him become a fool so that he may be wise .
*
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God ;
for it is written ,
He takes the wise in their own craftiness .
*
And again ,
The ]
Lord knows the thoughts of the wise ,
that they are vain .
*
Therefore let no one glory in men .
For all things are yours ,
*
whether it is Paul ,
or Apollos ,
or Cephas ,
or [
the ]
world ,
or life ,
or death ,
or things present ,
or things to come ;
all are yours ,
*
and you are Christ '
s ,
and Christ [
is ]
God '
s .
