Chapter 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
your's; |
22
|
Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world,
or life, or death, or things present, or things to come;
all are your's; |
23
|
And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. |
