Murdock - I Corinthians - 3

3:1  And I, my Brethren, could not talk with you, as with spiritual persons, but as with the carnal, as with babes in Messiah.

3:2  I gave you milk, and did not give you solid food: for ye were not then able to receive it; and even now, ye are not able.

3:3  For ye are still in the flesh. For, as there are among you envying, and contention, and parties, are ye not carnal, and walking in the flesh?

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

3:5  For, who is Paul, or who is Apollos, but the ministers by whom ye believed, each one as the Lord gave to him?

3:6  I planted, and Apollos watered; but God produced the growth.

3:7  Not therefore he that planted, is to be accounted of, nor he that watered, but God who produced the growth.

3:8  And he that planted, and he that watered are on a par; each receiveth his reward, according to his labor.

3:9  For we labor with God: and ye are God's husbandry, and God's edifice.

3:10  According to the grace of God which was given me, I laid the foundation like a wise architect; and another buildeth on it. But let each one see, how he buildeth on it.

3:11  For any other foundation can no man lay, different from that which is laid, which is Jesus Messiah.

3:12  And if any one buildeth on this foundation, either gold, or silver, or precious stones, or wood, or hay, or stubble;

3:13  the work of each will be exposed to view; for the day will expose it; because it is to be tested by fire; and the fire will disclose the work of each, of what sort it is.

3:14  And that builder whose work shall endure, will receive his reward.

3:15  And he, whose work shall burn up, will suffer loss; yet himself will escape; but it will be, as from 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  Whoever shall mar the temple of God, God will mar him: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

3:18  Let no one deceive himself. Whoever among you thinketh that he is wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

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

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

3:21  Wherefore, let no one 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 things are yours:

3:23  and ye are Messiah's, and Messiah is God's.
