MKJV - I Corinthians - 3

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

3:2  I have fed you with milk and not with solid food, for you were not yet able to bear it; nor are you able even now.

3:3  For you are yet carnal. For in that there is among you envyings and strife and divisions, are you not carnal, and do you not walk according to men?

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

3:5  Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed, even to each the Lord gave?

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

3:7  So then neither is he who plants anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

3:8  So he planting, and he watering, are one, and each one shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.

3:9  For we are fellow-workers of God, a field of God, and you are a building of God.

3:10  According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let every man be careful how he builds on it.

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

3:12  And if anyone builds on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble,

3:13  each one's work shall be revealed. For the Day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try each one's work as to what kind it is.

3:14  If anyone's work which he built remains, he shall receive a reward.

3:15  If anyone's work shall be burned up, he shall suffer loss. But he shall be saved, yet so as by fire.

3:16  Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

3:17  If anyone defiles the temple of God, God shall destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which you are.

3:18  Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool so that he may be wise.

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

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

3:21  Therefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours,

3:22  whether it is 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 you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
