Bible, King James Version
1_Corinthians
1Cor.3
[1] And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto
spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
[2] I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for
hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye
able.
[3] For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you
envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk
as men?
[4] For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am
of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
[5] Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by
whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
[6] I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the
increase.
[7] So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither
he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
[8] Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and
every man shall receive his own reward according to his own
labour.
[9] For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's
husbandry, ye are God's building.
[10] According to the grace of God which is given unto me,
as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another
buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth
thereupon.
[11] For other foundation can no man lay than that is
laid, which is Jesus Christ.
[12] Now if any man build upon this foundation gold,
silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
[13] Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day
shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the
fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
[14] If any man's work abide which he hath built
thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
[15] If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer
loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
[16] Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that
the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
[17] If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God
destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
[18] Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you
seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he
may be wise.
[19] For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own
craftiness.
[20] And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise,
that they are vain.
[21] Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are
yours;
[22] Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or
life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are
yours;
[23] And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
