Haweis - I Corinthians - 3

3:1  AND I, brethren, have been unable to speak to you as unto spiritual men, but as to carnal, even as to babes in Christ.

3:2  And I have given you milk to drink, and not meat: for hitherto ye have not been capable of it, yea, even to the present moment ye are not capable of it.

3:3  For ye are still carnal: for since there are among you envy, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as other men?

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

3:5  Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but the ministers through whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to each of us?

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

3:7  So then neither is he that planteth any thing, nor he that watereth; but God who giveth the increase.

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

3:9  For we are God’s fellowlabourers: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.

3:10  According to the grace of God given unto me, as a skilful architect, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every one take heed how he buildeth upon it.

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

3:12  But if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, timbers, hay, stubble;

3:13  every man’s work shall be made manifest: for that day shall declare it, for it shall be laid open by fire; and the fire shall prove every man’s work of what sort it is.

3:14  If any man’s work which he hath built abide the trial, he shall receive a reward.

3:15  If any man’s work be burnt up, he shall suffer loss: but himself shall be saved; yet so as through the 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 prophane the temple of God, him will 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 thinketh himself a wise man in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

3:19  For the wisdom of this world is folly in the sight of God. For it is written, “He entangleth the wise in their own craftiness.”

3:20  And again, “The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise, that they are futile.”

3:21  Wherefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your’s;

3:22  whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all things are your’s;

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