1Corinthians:3-4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And I ,
brethren ,
could (
5675 )
not speak (
5658 )
unto you as unto spiritual ,
but as unto carnal ,
even as unto babes in Christ .
*
I have fed (
5656 )
you with milk ,
and not with meat :
for hitherto ye were not able (
5711 )
to bear it ,
neither yet now are ye able (
5736 ).
*
For ye are (
5748 )
yet carnal :
for whereas there is among you envying ,
and strife ,
and divisions ,
are ye (
5748 )
not carnal ,
and walk (
5719 )
as men ?
*
For while one saith (
5725 ),
I am (
5748 )
of Paul ;
and another ,
I am of Apollos ;
are ye (
5748 )
not carnal ?
*
Who then is (
5748 )
Paul ,
and who is Apollos ,
but ministers by whom ye believed (
5656 ),
even as the Lord gave (
5656 )
to every man ?
*
I have planted (
5656 ),
Apollos watered (
5656 );
but God gave the increase (
5707 ).
*
So then neither is (
5748 )
he that planteth (
5723 )
any thing ,
neither he that watereth (
5723 );
but God that giveth the increase (
5723 ).
*
Now he that planteth (
5723 )
and he that watereth (
5723 )
are (
5748 )
one :
and every man shall receive (
5695 )
his own reward according to his own labour .
*
For we are (
5748 )
labourers together with God :
ye are (
5748 )
Gods husbandry ,
ye are Gods building .
*
According to the grace of God which is given (
5685 )
unto me ,
as a wise masterbuilder ,
I have laid (
5758 )
the foundation ,
and another buildeth (
5719 )
thereon .
But let every man take heed (
5720 )
how he buildeth (
5719 )
thereupon .
*
For other foundation can (
5736 )
no man lay (
5629 )
than that is laid (
5740 ),
which is (
5748 )
Jesus Christ .
*
Now if any man build (
5719 )
upon this foundation gold ,
silver ,
precious stones ,
wood ,
hay ,
stubble ;
*
Every mans work shall be made (
5695 )
manifest :
for the day shall declare (
5692 )
it ,
because it shall be revealed (
5743 )
by fire ;
and the fire shall try (
5692 )
every mans work of what sort it is (
5748 ).
*
If any mans work abide (
5719 )
which he hath built (
5656 )
thereupon ,
he shall receive (
5695 )
a reward .
*
If any mans work shall be burned (
5691 ),
he shall suffer loss (
5701 ):
but he himself shall be saved (
5701 );
yet so as by fire .
*
Know ye (
5758 )
not that ye are (
5748 )
the temple of God ,
and that the Spirit of God dwelleth (
5719 )
in you ?
*
If any man defile (
5719 )
the temple of God ,
him shall God destroy (
5692 );
for the temple of God is (
5748 )
holy ,
which temple ye are (
5748 ).
*
Let no man deceive (
5720 )
himself .
If any man among you seemeth (
5719 )
to be (
5750 )
wise in this world ,
let him become (
5634 )
a fool ,
that he may be (
5638 )
wise .
*
For the wisdom of this world is (
5748 )
foolishness with God .
For it is written (
5769 ),
He taketh (
5740 )
the wise in their own craftiness .
*
And again ,
The Lord knoweth (
5719 )
the thoughts of the wise ,
that they are (
5748 )
vain .
*
Therefore let no man glory (
5737 )
in men .
For all things are (
5748 )
yours ;
*
Whether Paul ,
or Apollos ,
or Cephas ,
or the world ,
or life ,
or death ,
or things present (
5761 ),
or things to come (
5723 );
all are (
5748 )
yours ;
*
And ye are Christs ;
and Christ is Gods .
*
Let a man so account (
5737 )
of us ,
as of the ministers of Christ ,
and stewards of the mysteries of God .
*
Moreover it is required (
5743 )
in stewards ,
that a man be found (
5686 )
faithful .
*
But with me it is (
5748 )
a very small thing that I should be judged (
5686 )
of you ,
or of mans judgment :
yea ,
I judge (
5719 )
not mine own self .
*
For I know (
5758 )
nothing by myself ;
yet am I not hereby justified (
5769 ):
but he that judgeth (
5723 )
me is (
5748 )
the Lord .
*
Therefore judge (
5720 )
nothing before the time ,
until the Lord come (
5632 ),
who both will bring to light (
5692 )
the hidden things of darkness ,
and will make manifest (
5692 )
the counsels of the hearts :
and then shall every man have (
5695 )
praise of God .
*
And these things ,
brethren ,
I have in a figure transferred (
5656 )
to myself and to Apollos for your sakes ;
that ye might learn (
5632 )
in us not to think (
5721 )
of men above that which is written (
5769 ),
that no one of you be puffed up (
5747 )
for one against another .
*
For who maketh thee to differ (
5719 )
from another ?
and what hast thou (
5719 )
that thou didst not receive (
5627 )?
now if thou didst receive (
5627 )
it ,
why dost thou glory (
5736 ),
as if thou hadst not received (
5631 )
it ?
*
Now ye are (
5748 )
full (
5772 ),
now ye are rich (
5656 ),
ye have reigned as kings (
5656 )
without us :
and I would to God ye did reign (
5656 ),
that we also might reign with (
5661 )
you .
*
For I think (
5719 )
that God hath set forth (
5656 )
us the apostles last ,
as it were appointed to death :
for we are made (
5675 )
a spectacle unto the world ,
and to angels ,
and to men .
*
We are fools for Christs sake ,
but ye are wise in Christ ;
we are weak ,
but ye are strong ;
ye are honourable ,
but we are despised .
*
Even unto this present hour we both hunger (
5719 ),
and thirst (
5725 ),
and are naked (
5719 ),
and are buffeted (
5743 ),
and have no certain dwellingplace (
5719 );
*
And labour (
5719 ),
working (
5740 )
with our own hands :
being reviled (
5746 ),
we bless (
5719 );
being persecuted (
5746 ),
we suffer it (
5736 ):
*
Being defamed (
5746 ),
we intreat (
5719 ):
we are made (
5675 )
as the filth of the world ,
and are the offscouring of all things unto this day .
*
I write (
5719 )
not these things to shame (
5723 )
you ,
but as my beloved sons I warn (
5719 )
you .
*
For though ye have (
5725 )
ten thousand instructors in Christ ,
yet have ye not many fathers :
for in Christ Jesus I have begotten (
5656 )
you through the gospel .
*
Wherefore I beseech (
5719 )
you ,
be ye (
5737 )
followers of me .
*
For this cause have I sent (
5656 )
unto you Timotheus ,
who is (
5748 )
my beloved son ,
and faithful in the Lord ,
who shall bring you into remembrance (
5692 )
of my ways which be in Christ ,
as I teach (
5719 )
every where in every church .
*
Now some are puffed up (
5681 ),
as though I would not come (
5740 )
to you .
*
But I will come (
5695 )
to you shortly ,
if the Lord will (
5661 ),
and will know (
5695 ),
not the speech of them which are puffed up (
5772 ),
but the power .
*
For the kingdom of God is not in word ,
but in power .
*
What will ye (
5719 )?
shall I come (
5632 )
unto you with a rod ,
or in love ,
and in the spirit of meekness ?
*
It is reported (
5743 )
commonly that there is fornication among you ,
and such fornication as is not so much as named (
5743 )
among the Gentiles ,
that one should have (
5721 )
his fathers wife .
