RWebster - I Corinthians - 3

3:1  And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to carnal, even as to babes in Christ.

3:2  I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for until now ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

3:3  For ye are yet carnal: for though there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

3:4  For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

3:5  Who then is Paul, and whoisApollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

3:6  I have planted, Apollos watered; but God hath given the increase.

3:7  So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

3:8  Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

3:9  For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s field, ye are God’s building.

3:10  According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth upon it. But let every man take heed how he buildeth upon it.

3:11  For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

3:12  Now if any man buildeth upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

3:13  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.

3:14  If any man’s work abideth which he hath built upon it, he shall receive a reward.

3:15  If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

3:17  If any man defileth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

3:18  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.

3:19  For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

3:20  And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

3:21  Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;

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;

3:23  And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
