1Corinthians:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
AND I myself ,
brethren ,
could not speak to you as spiritual ,
but as fleshly ,
as babes in Christ .
*
I fed you with milk ,
not solid food .
For you were not able to take it .
Nor are you yet able ,
for you are still fleshly .
*
For while there is jealousy and strife among you ,
are you not fleshly and living in man '
s way ?
*
For when one says , "
I belong to Paul ,"
and another , "
I belong to Apollos ,"
are you not men ?
*
What then is Apollos ?
What is Paul ?
Servants through whom you were led to faith ,
as the Lord granted to each of us .
*
I planted ,
Apollos watered ,
but God made the seed grow .
*
So then neither is he who planted anything nor he who watered ,
but God who makes the seed grow .
*
Each will receive his own reward according to his own labor .
*
We are God '
s fellow workers :
you are God '
s farm God '
s building .
*
According to the grace of God granted to me ,
as a wise master-builder I have laid a foundation and another is building on it .
But let each be careful how he builds on it .
*
For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid ,
which is Jesus Christ .
*
If any one builds on this foundation gold ,
silver ,
costly stones ,
wood ,
hay ,
straw \'
97
*
every one '
s work will become manifest .
For the day will show it ,
because it will be revealed in fire and the fire will test each one '
s work ,
of what quality it is .
*
If the work which any one has built stands he will get a reward .
*
If any one '
s work burns up he will suffer loss ,
though he himself will be saved ,
but as through fire .
*
Do you not know that you are God '
s temple and the Spirit of God dwells in you ?
*
If any one mars the temple of God ,
God will mar him ,
for the temple of God is holy ,
and you are the temple .
*
Let no one deceive himself .
If any one of you thinks himself wise in this world ,
let him become a fool in order to become wise .
*
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God '
s sight .
For it is written , "
He catches the wise in their own craftiness ,"
*
and again , "
The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise to be futile ."
*
Therefore let no one boast in men .
For all things are yours \'
97
*
Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come \'
97 all are yours
*
and you are Christ '
s and Christ is God '
