nsb - 1Corinthians:3

nsb@1Corinthians:3:1 @ Brothers, I was not able to speak to you as to spiritual men, but as fleshly men, as babes in Christ.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I fed you milk and not solid food. You were not able to receive it. You are not able now!

nsb@1Corinthians:3:3 @ You are still fleshly! There is envy, strife, and divisions among you. Do you not walk as ordinary men?

nsb@1Corinthians:3:4 @ While one said, »I belong to Paul;« and another, »I belong to Apollos;« are you not fleshly human beings?

nsb@1Corinthians:3:5 @ Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

nsb@1Corinthians:3:6 @ I have planted, Apollos watered; but God caused the growth.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:7 @ Neither he that plants and neither he that waters is anything; but God gives the increase.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:8 @ Now he who plants and he who waters are one and every man will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:9 @ For we are fellow workers together with God. You are God's field under cultivation. You are God's building.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let every man take heed how he builds.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:11 @ No other foundation can be laid than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:12 @ Now if any man builds upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, and stubble;

nsb@1Corinthians:3:13 @ every man's work will be made known, for the day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will prove what sort every man's work is.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:14 @ If a man's work that he built upon lasts, he will receive a reward.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:15 @ If a man's work will be burned, he will suffer loss: but he will be saved by fire.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:16 @ Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

nsb@1Corinthians:3:17 @ God will destroy any man who defiles the temple of God! For the temple of God is holy. You are that temple!

nsb@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:19 @ For the wisdom of this age is foolishness with God. It is written: »He catches the wise in their own craftiness.« (Job strkjv@5:13)

nsb@1Corinthians:3:20 @ And again: »Jehovah knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.« (Psalm strkjv@94:11)

nsb@1Corinthians:3:21 @ Therefore let no man boast in men. For all things are yours.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:22 @ Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours!

nsb@1Corinthians:3:23 @ And you belong to Christ and Christ belongs to God.
